Abeid and Hausif formed Sunshowah in the year 2000 out of a need to counteract the one-dimensional images depicting urban life in the American film culture. Combining Syracuse University film educations with street knowledge and a passion for hip-hop culture, the two have written, directed, executive produced and edited three short films: the 2008 production, “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1”, “Eye Jammy (2006) ” and "rev' o. lu, shun" (2001). Following in the subversive traditions of independent filmmakers the likes of Spike Lee, Haile Gerima, Akira Kurosawa & the Cohen Brothers, Sunshowah Films highlights and explores the conflicts and contradictions that play a part in the lives of everyday people.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-size: 14px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 22px; word-break: break-word; ">Following the successful run of “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1” on HBO and Cinemax (2009-2011), the Sunshowah team have gone on to write 3 feature films, including “…The Harder They Fall”, which is in pre-production and slated to start shooting in the spring.</p></span>
