The PHD Movie: Still in Grad School

Wednesday, November 11, 2015 Heba Moeen 0 Comments



 

LA boasted the premiere of Iram Parveen Bilal’s next feature, The PHD Movie: Still in Grad School. The movie is based on famous, Professor-turned-cartoonist, Jorge Cham’s 7 million viewer followed “The PHD Comics”, a weekly online comic strip that tackles serious issues like life in academia, but with a comic undertaking.

This movie is Bilal’s first comedy as a director. She commented, “People were roaring with laughter and fits. That speaks a lot to Jorge’s incredibly funny script but it is good to know that my visual choices as a director, being the production design, camera movement, shots, biggest one being the casting, worked out to amp the comedy in every frame.”

The PHD Movie is not screened in the regular way, instead it is screened by Universities worldwide. In the last week about 20 screenings took place around the globe, including universities like CERN in Switzerland, MIT, Caltech and the Max Planck institute in Berlin.

Being a sequel to a film that showed in over 500 campuses worldwide, on every continent on planet earth, Bilal is confident that this one, already written about in the prestigious Nature and Science, is going to break its predecessor’s record.

“It’s ironically satisfying to be written about in nature and science as a filmmaker, since my past life was that of an engineer.”

Ahead of her upcoming film Forbidden Steps, to be shot in Chicago, which is in packaging and pre-production currently and is hoping for an international and local cast, this marks as a fantastic in-between project that showcases the diversity of her artistry as a director. After JOSH, an intense dramatic thriller, this is a science comedy!

We look forward to more from this talented filmmaker, who’s as much about pushing Pakistani cinema locally [see Qalambaaz] as she is about bringing our cinema and our players, abroad [she initiated the Oscar committee alongside Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, and serves informally as a programming liaison for various festival directors].

Wednesday, November 11, 2015 Heba Moeen 0 Comments




Pantene, the world’s no. 1 hair care brand, announced its partnership with renowned Bollywood actress and superstar Anushka Sharma as their brand ambassador for Pakistan, given the trend of Indian brand ambassadors and the admiration for Bollywood actors, this would be an interesting step.  Known for having sported different styles and trends, the gorgeous diva is now all set to flaunt her tresses with the brand!

While talking about being the new face of Pantene, the actress revealed, “I love experimenting with my hair! Whether trying a wob, or a fringe cut or colouring my hair, but with my busy schedule and hectic lifestyle, my hair is exposed to a lot of chemicals, styling treatments and worst of all pollution, dust and heat.”

She further adds, “When Pantene approached me claiming to make my hair strong and healthy from inside and shinier and beautiful on the outside, I tried it first. I have to admit I saw a change in my hair. My hair looked visibly healthy and felt so soft! And what’s more? I saw these results almost immediately. From the first wash itself I felt it works from within, my hair just soaked it all up. Pantene’s Pro-V formula penetrates into the hair’s core leaving it stronger, shinier inside out, all the time!”

Actress and producer Anushka Sharma has been known for her beautiful looks and a no-fear attitude for experimental styles. She is a youth icon, and considering her large social media presence to the roles she plays, she strongly appeals to the young girls of today! Her versatile image attracts the youth and her values also reflect our brand values. With her hair, Anushka has always chosen to be experimentative, setting trends for young girls to follow.
