Don't Miss This Wonderful Interview
Kim HudsonAMIN MATALQA is the director of the first Arab-language Disney feature film, ‘The United’ (due in theaters early 2012) and writer/director of the 2008 Jordanian feature film, ‘Captain Abu Raed,’ which won the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for World Cinema (Dramatic). With 28 international awards, Captain was Jordan’s first-ever entry into the Oscars (and won 76% critic and 80% audience approval at Rotten Tomatoes). Amin has an MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute. Originally from Jordan, little Amin immigrated to the US with his family in 1989, went on to study business at Ohio State University, and worked in the technology field for six years. Then, one day in 2003, he decided to start over and pursue his childhood dream of filmmaking. He moved to Los Angeles with his dogs Cello and Oboe, and made 17 short films before getting into AFI. Today he lives in LA with his wife Claire and their dogs. Having completed two feature films, he continues to write screenplays and is in development to direct 'Red Valentine.'
