BACKGROUND: During the summer of 2009, Montreal born film maker Robby Reis began shooting his ongoing film project SUHA which follows a female graffiti writer marking her way through South-Western Montreal. With the charitable participation of his close friends, Reis spent a 3 day week-end shooting his film in over 30 public locations. Armed with a hand held camera and only a few props, Reis and his crew created a revealing tale with a strong documentary aesthetic that will likely appeal to the youthful anarchist within you.
SYNOPSIS: SUHA documents the life of a female graffiti writer as she marks her way through Montreal’s graffiti art sub-culture. SUHA’s diaristic accounts unfold through her self-discovering narration which is delivered as a soliloquy unbeknown to her.
DIRECTOR BIO: After completing a BFA in film production at Concordia University, Robby Reis has written, directed and shot several short films in and around Montreal. In 2006, Reis co-founded the Montreal based production company Natali Film and has since continued to make films which merge basic documentary film techniques with storytelling methods typical of scripted films. His intention is to create a visual aesthetic which challenges the viewer to discern between truth and fiction.
