THE INITIATIVE
We want to give back! We feel so inspired by the deserving talent that exists around us, had the opportunity to work with, or even seen online, that we launched ‘The 1505 Initiative’ to give regional artists their shot at the spotlight. Every year, we will choose a project– photo, video, or any type of artistry– to bring to life through funding, exposure, and use of our platform and network.
Our second initiative, a music video for 'Mirage' by Louss, directed by Jad Rahmé, combines heartbreak themes with striking visuals. Highlighting a complex romantic relationship and special effects, it won Best Music Video in LA, Paris, London, Best Director in Prague, LA, and Best Cinematography in Toronto. The success of 'Mirage' serves as a powerful example of what can be achieved through collaborative and creative efforts, and we are exceptionally proud of this accomplishment.

Supporting up-and-coming director Eli Salameh, our first initiative brought to life 'A Room With A View.' This short film tells the story of Wael, a young Lebanese adult facing unemployment and thoughts of suicide in a country failing him. Wael's struggles, set against an economic crisis, are powerfully depicted. This short film garnered recognition and was screened at various film festivals, including the Soura Film Festival in Berlin.
