#1: Creative Process, Hollywood as an Arab, Jocelyn Mitchell Scandal - Moby Buhmaid

Mohammed 'Moby' Buhmaid is a Qatari actor/screenwriter and a longtime friend. We recorded this episode at Moby's family farm, since he's moved back from LA he spends much of his time alone working on his new web series. We get into the reality of pursuing creative work, and the unrealistic expectations people have when first starting out.  While trying to make it in Hollywood, Moby was offered a role to play a terrorist - this sparks a conversation on the portrayal of Arabs and Muslims in cinema.  Finally, we discuss the Jocelyn Mitchell incident at Northwestern University in Qatar and how it inspired one of his characters.
