A Man of Honor has been featured at several international film festivals, including the Carthage Film Festival in Tunisia. Recently at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival, it made its world premiere.
Set in Lebanon and Jordan, the feature length film is about shame, revenge, passion and the many facets of human nature.
In addition to the feature film, twofour54 creative lab short film, The Long Way Down revolves around two executives, an Arab and a Westerner, who get stuck in a particularly long elevator ride down from the 59th floor. It was also presented at the 2012 Arab Camera Festival in Rotterdam.
