California, United States Apr 8, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - When it comes to modern American auteurs, LA-based Phoenix Quwais is probably the one name that is grabbing the attention of the new age movie enthusiast. Not because the concept of his features/documentaries/dramas touches the current issues ordeal with something fancy, but because Phoenix emphasizes some topics that deliver a sense of belonging with the audiences. After the success of his critically acclaimed projects ‘Grenade’, ‘Subversive’, ‘Joker Under A Tree’, and ‘Apothesis’, he is back with another masterpiece, ‘Stultus Nothi’, another project where he takes his school of thought and expression to another level.
Phoenix has grown by witnessing the culture of both England and America. His proud British heritage and his enduring American present are what have made him an artist of choice. His eclectic ethnic heritage and his roaming spirit have broadened his horizons and have given him the approach to deal with any matter with depth. Phoenix is primarily marked because of his unparallel talent as a screenwriter and filmmaker who has been imitated and who is inspiring numerous aspiring filmmakers to create their own identities.
Eventually, Phoenix developed his acting and directing skills and his world changed with his debut feature film, ‘Grenade’, one of the most exclusive neo-noir silent films the film fraternity has ever witnessed. It would not be a wrong statement to make that ‘Grenade’ deserved more screenings and some more appreciation where the single crew- Phoenix has flawlessly dealt with every element of the cinema so perfectly. One who has seen his films will be surprised to know that he has never attained a formal film school education and despite that he shows no signs of deficiencies. His confidence to face the camera and his skills to engage with the audience proves his mastery as an actor, director, and director.
Phoenix Quwais like other filmmakers too had to deal with negligence, rejection and negative criticism and there has been the time when his feature film called ‘Subversive’ was rejected to be screened on film festivals. This feature attacked the foundation of British and American nationalism and delivered an unrestrained hit on human species as a whole. This experimental, avant-garde documentary film demonstrated his skill-set and highlighted human behavior and devolution.
His fifth independent feature film “Stultus Noti’ is yet another attempt to portray his feral yet experimental approach that establishes his matchless bloodline among filmmakers. In his words- ‘Stultus Nothi is an experiment just like Subversive was’. Filmmaking is an expression. A lot of people don't like the subject matter, but it is the unadulterated truth!’ said Phoenix Quwais. The best part is ‘Stultus Nothi’ will be screened at Caldas Film Festival, Global Independent Film Awards, and Australia/Singapore Film festival.
Phoenix sees filmmaking as ‘idiosyncratic individualism’ and it can be said that he is climbing the steps of success despite the fact that criticism is following him. He is a headstrong personality who is nothing but a blessing to the modern filmmaking arena.
