"The Green Room"; DV; color; 6:15 (2001)

director, camera, editor, sound design: Usama Alshaibi

In the green room a couple waits, anticipating their own performance.

"Usama Alshaibi’s The Green Room opens with a man and two women being aggressively interrogated by the filmmaker about their sexual frustrations before it comes unhinged with manic editing and glancingly hardcore shots of a couple employing a strap-on to break out of their dull bedroom routine."
