CURRENT PROJECTS / by Ann Husaini

I co-edited a short film by my friend Moon Molson that was accepted to Sundance in 2011! This project, Crazy Beats Strong Every Time, follows an African-American teen who in a moment of fury threatens to kill his alcoholic stepfather, and is dared by his friends to follow through on it. indieWire listed it as one of the best of the best shorts in Sundance - awesome! Check out further info on www.crazybeatsstrong.com.

In the meanwhile, the edit of the full feature of DANLAND continues, aiming for a Tribeca Film Festival deadline. Director Alex Berger and I are very happy with the outcome of the rough cut so far.

The next project looks to be a documentary film directed by Avi Weider exploring the state of artificial intelligence today. The technology of artificial intelligence will soon reach a level where a machine's cognitive reasoning will  mirror that of human consciousness. What are the implications of that for our society?

Finally, I am enjoying writing fiction and getting it out there. I and other writer friends are looking to have an actor reading of our work in February. Look for more updates on this soon!
