Captain Abu Raed wins Finland's Audience Award & Distribution deal
It is very exciting to see Jordan making marks on the map of world cinema with Captain Abu Raed. While I was in Vancouver on Monday walking into the theater to introduce the film, I got an email on my phone that said Captain Abu Raed won the Audience Award at the Helsinki International Film Festival all the way up in Finland. And the exciting thing is that this year the winner gets a national distribution deal in Finnish cinemas. So if you live in Finland, Captain Abu Raed opens in theaters just before Christmas, on December 19. Thank you Finland and thank you to the wonderful enthusiastic audiences in Vancouver. I had an amazing time.

Hey Amin,
Congrats! I'm so excited for the DVD to come out, because even though I attended the premier in Jordan, I've been dying for my parents to watch the movie and they do not live in Jordan!
So, we at the number one hit music station in Amman, Play 99.6, are excited to hear about your success and are wondering if we can talk to you about it.
Is there an email we can contact?
Please let me know.

Hi Amin!
Is it true you've been nominated for the 2009 Oscar Awards? First Jordanian ever?
HI Maha,
The DVD will come out in the MIddle East on December 11. It will have lots of goodies on it also.
Hi cupcake,
I read the Middle East Online article. It erroneously stated that I've been nominated for an Oscar. The Oscar nominations will not be announced until late January 2009. However, the film has been submitted as Jordan's entry for the Oscar, and that's a first.
