I found this video on YouTube, its a short amateur movie that was shot in Kuwait back in 1992 by a guy called Ali. If you consider the fact that this movie was shot and edited by a teenager in the early 90s without a computer, its actually pretty cool.. in a geeky way. [YouTube]
For some reason I now feel like watching The Dirt Bike Kid

You had IKEA in Kuwait in 1992?!
we’ve had ikea from the 80s
OK, I am being totally serious when I say that this movie is F_CKING AMAZING.
This kid’s cinematic skills are better than what i see on tv nowadays with the arabic soap operas. depressing to see how things degrade with time.:(
Amazing is not the word, this previously been kid is a genious better than all the losers we watch on TV. Wonder if he’s still creative !
I doubt it !
thats cool I didnt think anyone else would appreciate it
very very nice find. i wonder how many more obscure creative amateurs are out there that never found the proper channels for their talent…
dude this movie is cool for 1992 u dont c a creative teens like thise nowadays and in that year kuwait was a shity place cuz of the war withe the iraqis am suprised that the iraqis didnt stel the cam and the furnuture of that house loooool.
Wow ya7lailhum!
haha thats actually cool :p
This is F****** Amazing, Freaking Awesome!!!
This is great! We used to do stop animation things like this too when we were kids, but definitely not as cool as this. I wonder if he made this video in one take on his camera, rewinding and fixing mistakes as he went along, which is what we had to do… Cool find!
That was so good!
dude i just realizd what the dirt bike kid was, omg mark ur pathetic.
Great Video, I really enjoyed it :)
I’m suspecting something, will confirm it and then tell ;)
Yeah! Loved it.
yeah this is impressive. Where is the guy now?
Hope this guy reappears. Quite impressive.
Very Nice …. !!! really …..
This is really cool..
Hi there, this is me the young boy on that short movie, I’d like to thank you all for your flattering comments. This movie was shot by my older brother Ali, and the other guy on the film is my brother Ahmad. The film was shot using a cinema camera, which we baught from an antique store. No editing, and it took 3 weeks to shoot, and a month time to develop in the UK. We have other movies like “No Kidding Just Killing” and other short “Alimation” movies. I’m a business Consultant and Trainer, you can check me out at http://www.globalexpertbase.com/692.htm

Hi Mark,
The same guy in this short clip has a book out. It is sold in Virgin and Carrefour. We can arrange a copy for you, just drop me an email. The book is in Arabic and it is very short and light to read.
