As someone who from time to time watches short films for a possible new talent discovery, I came across Family's Sake and thought I would give it a shot. Family's Sake tells the story of a Muslim girl who falls in love with a non-Muslim guy, putting her life at risk due to a conservative Muslim family. The story is as cliché as it gets and has not a touch of originality to it, making it all feel too much like a poorly executed autobiography. Although director Sam Shaib has tried to convince viewers that Muslim vs. Non-Muslim relationships is an issue that ought not be disregarded, I must disagree.
Family's Sake is a joke, with acting that is as good as pig's poop, bipolar shots, and camera movements that will put you in a state of dizziness.
I have seen many talented aspiring filmmakers, but Sam Shaib, a film student, as stated on his IMDb profile, possesses the voice of an amateur. Having suffered through the whole Family's Sake film, the worst I have seen this year, I can now say that Shaib's unoriginal films and lack of directorial talent is prove that he chose the wrong major in college.
