hello
my name is jared mobarak and i thank you for visiting …
this site is an embodiment of who i am: my art, my interests, my love of the cinema. influenced by the world around me, my design work takes a minimalist approach to distilling a subject to its core, representing it in simple geometric forms or carefully cropped photography depicting its essence.
and since our ideas, imagination, and every thought are shaped by our experiences, each movie seen brings with it something to hold onto—something to come back to and use, however subtly, in a piece of work. i am not a film critic, but a film fan. greatness can be the work’s script, performances, visual style, or something i just can’t put my finger on, grabbing hold and resonating on a level for which i have no control to ignore.
the musings here are about my individual experience with the films; the cinema takes us to another world and the true success is whether you went willingly and cannot wait to return. critics may try and tell you what is ‘good’ or ‘bad’—they’ve been placing value on art objects for centuries—but only you can be the judge. art is only worth the price you yourself place upon it.

Hi Jared,
I just finished my thesis film, a short thriller called ‘The Chrysalis’ and Chris Esper pointed me in your direction about potentially having the film reviewed. It has played at the New Hampshire Film Festival so far. I haven’t had any of my films reviewed before so I am not familiar with the process, but if you are interested I would love to chat!
Best,
Matt

Would you be interested in reviewing it on your blog?
You can watch the trailer and learn more here: https://aliencitizensoloshow.com/Alien-Citizen-AEO-the-Movie-1. The film is available on DVD and HD (streamable).
I would be happy to send you a Press Kit and the DVD or a private free link if you would like to review the film. Thank you so much for your consideration, and have a great 2020.

Elizabeth (Lisa) Liang

Hello, Jared. My name is Imanol Otero. In 2012 I produced an original and independent movie about artists starring international spanish actor Óscar Jaenada. If you want you can watch it writing “Arteros Movie” on YouTube.
It’s interesting for a remake. I have the screenplay translated into english. I have too more ideas for the characters that I created in a book of shorts stories that I wrote in 2001.
I can imagine my characters living in New York, LA or London. They are artists. And these cities are full of artists. Full of eccentric people, money, opportunities, desires and frustrations.
Thanks for your attention. Greetings from San Sebastián.

“THE CLOWN AND THE PAINTER”- SYNOPSIS
“The clown and the painter” tells the story of four unknown artists who dream with finding their place in the procelous world of the art and the price will be required them to pay to achieve it. The story begins with PEEKABOO, a street clown who abandoned years ago his real identity to be always a clown, inside and offstage. During a performance in the amphitheatre of the outskirts of a city which can belong to any country, PEEKABOO meets SANNY, a conceptual artist who invites him to spend few days in her house. Soon, PEEKABOO realises that the girl lacks her own artistic personality and needs of others to create art and in this case she has resorted to him.
On the other hand, we know TATE, a frustrated painter who still lives at his parents` home and he is in love with his neighbour, ALASKA, an egocentric actress who neither has attained to make her known. Although he attains his dream to meet her, the young girl is not interested about him and she treats him with contempt, without leaving to give him, also, some hope.
The four artists have occasion to meet themselves in a very odd frame: the Gallery. It is a mysterious place that decides who will be the artists of the future. Nobody knows the identity of its owner, neither anybody can try to exhibit there by own decision. They are the mysterious members of the Gallery who choose the artists and go into their houses, taking the works that will form part of the exhibitions. During one of these exhibitions, SANNY and PEEKABOO meet ALASKA and TATE and suddenly the idea that TATE takes the clown as a model arises. From that moment, things change and PEEKABOO`s portraits are chosen by the Gallery, turning TATE the next revelation artist.
Nevertheless, the opening day, one of the pictures is stolen and thus, TATE learns by SANNY, the secret behind the mysterious showroom. In one of its rooms a strange group calling itself the TALKING CROOKS is hidden, that in the manner of a Mephistopheles of the artistic market give artists the key to success in exchange for their creative personality. Faced with this dilemma, TATE will have to choose between fame, fortune and power or friendship and love. His decision will mark the fate of the four artists and will subdue PEEKABOO to a hard test in which gradually his identity as a clown will be diluted…
I invented a mysterious character: the clown Peekaboo (Casivisto in spanish, it means Almostseen). I have ideas for two more movies with him. In a second part, he goes to the Burning Man Festival. In a third part, he mets a writer who imagines four different past lives for him. Because Peekaboo never tells anyone who he was before he became a clown. He never shows his real face to anyone. He always wears a three colors wig, triangle glasses and a clown’s nose.
So “The clown and the painter” could be the first part of this clown’s trilogy.
THE ORIGIN OF THE TALKING CROOKS
The future Caltro is the only son of an aristocratic family. When parents die, he inherits a fortune that will allow not having to work or obey anyone. He is a narcissistic and vicious despot type. It is a bastard with a lot of money, that is, doubly bastard.
