Usama Alshaibi

I'm a filmmaker and visual artist. My films have received grants from the MacArthur Foundation, Creative Capital Foundation and Playboy Foundation. These are photos and prints from models, actors and other performers that have appeared in my films. But these are not film stills. All of the artwork is an original and signed by me.
