Narrative director Ramin Bahrani – best known for The White Tiger, Fahrenheit 451, and 99 Homes – speaks to Tiller today about his debut documentary feature entitled “2nd Chance”, a brilliantly inquisitive film about the inventor of the bullet proof vest, who shot himself in the chest 196 times. A self-made mythical figure with an allergy to accountability, Richard Davis's hilarious yet heartbreaking story is a particularly American one, as Bahrani puts it.  During their discussion: Ramin reflects on:His personal journey to taking on this film (2:40) Extracting truth from a sociopath (10:30)The invaluable note from EP Joshua Oppenheimer (19:23)Influences on his voice-over script (25:04)The powerful final scene (30:55)Ending the film with Richard shooting himself over and over (37:20)

Writer, Director Ramin Bahrani Talks about his new Documentary '2nd Chance' expanding into more theaters, Friday, December 9, 2022. More known for his feature film work, Iranian-American writer and director Ramin Bahrani steps into the field of documentary film making with '2nd Chance', a film that follows the misadventures of failed pizzeria owner, Richard Davis, who in 1969 sets out to invent the modern day bullet proof vest. To prove how effective his vest is, Davis sets out to shoot himself in the chest an incredible 192 times, that allows his company to become the largest manufacture of body armor in the United States and one of the top producers in the world. His creation has been used by police forces and the military the world over. Davis' downfall begins when a police officer loses his life while wearing a Second Chance vest, and reveals a man full of contradictions cultivated over decades of reckless behavior. Davis somehow manages to save lives while endangering countless more in the process. In speaking with Bahrani, we discuss the loss of the Iranian national team to Team U.S.A. in the World Cup, what it was like to transitioning from what was originally going to be a narrative picture into a documentary, using countless hours of footage and interviewing people who knew David into a remarkable story of, "I wouldn't believe it if we didn't have proof that it existed." Official Synposis: In 1969 a bankrupt pizzeria owner, Richard Davis, invented the modern-day bulletproof vest. To prove that it worked, he shot himself — point blank — 192 times. Davis then launched Second Chance, which became one of the largest body armor companies in the world. Charming and brash, he directed sensational marketing films, earning him celebrity status among police and gun owners across the country. But the death of a police officer wearing a Second Chance vest catalyzes Davis' fall, and reveals a man full of contradictions cultivated over decades of reckless behavior. Equally as questionable as he was captivating, Davis saved thousands of lives while endangering exponentially more.

Ramin Bahrani's debut feature documentary, 2nd Chance takes an in-depth look at a former pizzeria owner, Richard Davis, the man who invented the modern-day bulletproof vest. To prove that it worked, he shot himself — point blank — 192 times. Davis then launched Second Chance, which became one of the largest body armor companies in the world. Charming and brash, he directed sensational marketing films, earning him celebrity status among police and gun owners across the country. But the death of a police officer wearing a Second Chance vest catalyzes Davis' fall, and reveals a man full of contradictions cultivated over decades of reckless behavior. Equally as questionable as he was captivating, Davis saved thousands of lives while endangering exponentially more. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop, 99 Homes, White Tiger) continues his fascination with the perilous pursuit of the American Dream as seen through a uniquely individual lens. The film shrewdly juxtaposes Richard Davis' actions with those of his righteous right-hand man, Aaron Westrick. Unwilling to passively present questionable truths, Bahrani instead lays bare the complexities of one man's supposed virtue while speaking to the nature of power and impunity in America. Director and producer Ramin Bahrani joins us for a conversation on making the leap into feature documentary, his fascination with Richard Davis and his penchant for self mythology, gun culture and the invaluable opportunity for redemption and reconciliation.

Call it serendipity. Who knew that Ty Allan Jackson's son setting up a successful lemonade stand would set in motion an amazing sequence of events? A fruitless trip to a book store in search of a kid's book about money led to Ty writing that book. When outreach to 147 publishers came up empty, Ty persisted and went the self-publishing route. Later, Abdullah would reach out to Ty and the collaboration would lead to a curriculum built around the Danny Dollar Millionaire Extraordinaire book. Listen to this podcast to hear this story and more. Enjoy!

The show eases off the accelerator to focus on a single film this week. Acclaimed director Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop, Goodbye Solo) is back with a new film for Netflix that positions itself as the anti-Slumdog Millionaire. Adapted from Aravind Adiga's novel of the same title, The White Tiger tells a story of a lower-caste servant in India (Adarh Gourav) who chafes under the yoke of his family's poverty and does what he thinks he must in order to get ahead. Part Goodfellas, part Parasite, Bahrani's latest takes aim at the wealth disparities of modern India and examines how festering class resentments can boil over into violence, anger, and injustice from rich and poor alike.

In Part Two of Stephanie Mehta’s interview with Ramin Bahrani, they discuss his journey as a filmmaker and some of the ideas and themes that have been central to his storytelling. He talks about his interest in characters and worlds not typically seen in films and exploring the feeling of not belonging. He discusses the writers and filmmakers who have influenced him, and how going to Iran as an adult had a profound effect on him as a person and filmmaker. Bahrani also shares what first drew him to the world of storytelling, the part of the creative process that makes him feel vulnerable, the importance of talking about mistakes, and why he feels blessed to have one eye that sees Iranian and one eye that sees American.

In this inaugural episode of “The White Tiger” podcast, writer-director Ramin Bahrani joins host Stephanie Mehta, Editor-in-chief at Fast Company, to discuss the journey of the film. He talks about his longtime friendship with Aravind Ardiga, the author of the novel on which the film is based, and how he was first approached to make the film. He discusses key creative decisions, including maintaining the tone of the book and its time period, and the visual language of the film. Bahrani also reflects on the film’s central metaphor of the rooster coop, and the story’s powerful global appeal.

On this special episode of The Playlist Podcast, Charles and Mike speak with acclaimed filmmaker Ramin Bahrani about his latest feature, “The White Tiger."

Shock World Service 095: Shahee Al Ni3na3 [Mint Tea](Moving Still) 12/6/2020 Dublin, Ireland There is nothing nicer than getting up in the morning and making myself a cup of Arabic mint tea - this is a tradition I was exposed to growing up in Saudi. The songs I picked for this mix are songs that would go well with a nice cup (finjan) of mint tea (shahee ni3na3). I wanted to bring you through my cassette collection but also show you some songs that I hope to find on cassette. Every single song in this mix has a distinct memory that I truly love, and I hope they become special to you too. I highly recommend making a pot of mint tea, sitting on the floor, and mindfully listening to this mix.- Jamal Sul/ Moving Still 1. Ferqat Al Dana - Labod Nerjaa This is a band from Kuwait and the album was recorded in 1993. This song is a classic! It was pretty unusual to hear this type of Jazz from a Middle Eastern band. This is one of my favourites. 2. Bouchenak - Salam Alikoum This is a lovely cassette from Morocco that was released in 1992. This one has a lovely bassline and a melodic lead line that grabs you throughout. 3. Zeinab - Ya Hawly Zeinab released only two albums, and this song was released in 1985 on Delta Sounds. It is a lovely slow Egyptian Disco banger. 4. Faris - Ya Tayer Faris is an Egyptian singer and actor. This track was released as part of an Egyptian compilation called “Njoom Al Sharq”. 5. Simone - Zey Ma Matideny Simone is known for her Arabic covers of very popular pop songs. This cover of Janet Jackson's “What Have You Done For Me Lately” is superb! This is the last track on her 1992 album “Merci”. 6. Mona Abdel Ghany - Ashab The name “Ashab” translates to “friends” in Arabic. Mona's singing in this is one of a kind, and the hook melody is very soothing. 7. Americana Show - Taht Al Dila Americana Show were an Egyptian artistic trio founded by Hamid El Shaeri & Tareq Nur in the late 1980s. Members were Hisham Abbas, Aliya Saleh and Ahmed Al Gibaly. Taht Al Dila, which means under the shade. 8. Ali Bahar- Tesadeq Aad Ali Bahar is a Bahrani singer that was nicknamed “the Bob Marley of the Gulf”. This was released on great label called Al-Nazaer. 9. Cheb Arab - Yama Eouny This song is timeless, and those gated reverb snares and claps are key in this one. I would highly recommend listening to the entire album “Lo Kan” released in 1991. 10. Hany Shnoda Farkat Maserrian - Lama Kan El Bahr Azraa This song is very dear to me. You can literally float away listening to it. 11. Hamid El Shaeri - Oudah His mixed roots of being both Libyan and Egyptian gave his music a complete fresh taste during the boom of the cassettes industry in the 80s. The entire song is an acoustic guitar breeze and very different from his other tracks. 12. Azza Kamal - Maadna Bukra Azza Kamal only released one album, was an actress for a few years, and disappeared from the entertainment industry in the 90s. The edit is on the way!! 13. Laila Ghofran - Muhtagah Atghayar This is another cassette that was just collecting dust and I had no idea what was on it. This is an 80s banger and really love her singing on this particular song. 14. Sahar & Hamid El Shaeri - Rajer This is a song I recently discovered and would love to have this on cassette. I was really blown away by Sahar's singing and the main lead guitar. I highly recommend listening to this one with mint tea. 15. Etteb - Ghourabah Etteb is my favourite female Saudi musician. As far as I know, she is the first female singer to emerge from Saudi. She moved to Egypt to continue her singing career and she was an advocate for women in music, and a member of the Union of Arab Artists and the Musicians Syndicate in Egypt. 16. Fatima - Douz Douz This one was released in 1984 on Atoll in France. The chorus on this track is absolutely amazing, and the Arabic percussion mixed in with Disco elements really give this song its signature.

Mo joins us to talk about his upcoming A-tier and his podcast of Inside the Line. DGLO recap.

In our first two parts we discussed the following points: 1) The Qur’an mentions people were one. When divine knowledge came to guide them, they used this as a means of misguidance against each other.. 2) Differences in any one issue show the depth of that matter and how much knowledge it may contain 3) Scholars advise to keep their differences of opinion private before going public 4) Differences emanate from two places: i) Ignorance and ego ii) Newscasters; news-hounds; and news consumers 5) The Maraji’ welcome challenges (within reason, obviously) In this weeks discussion we will look at the question of our attitudes toward people who have differences with us. Karen Armstrong has written one of the most important books of our generation: ‘Muhammed: Prophet for our time’. At the onset of the book she says it was disturbing to her to see the Prophet (s) denigrated as a militant Prophet, when this is a man who spent his entire life trying to solve the problem of human conflict. He was born into a society of perpetual cycles of violence. An example of this is the famous 40 year war over a horse race called ‘Harb al-Dahis was Ghafra’, referring the names of the horses between the tribes of Abs and Dibyan. The man who started the war became a monk because he could not bear to look at the faces of those whom he’d been the cause of injury or death to. We can see how the Qur’an addresses the attitude of believers to be amongst themselves (48:29) Muhammad is God’s Apostle; and those who are [truly] with him are firm and unyielding towards all deniers of the truth, [yet] full of mercy towards one another. This is why the Prophet (s) had to warn, “Do not turn back after me as ingrates striking at the neck of one another” The Qur’an is critical of those who use their extremism in personal beliefs to be a means of dividing the community. This is mentioned twice in the Qur’an: (23:53) “But they (who claim to follow you) have torn their unity wide asunder, piece by piece, each group delighting in [but] what they themselves possess.” (30:32) “Among those who have broken the unity of their faith and have become sects, each group delighting in but what they themselves hold.” What is the attitude of our Maraji’ toward differences between them? I was present in the lesson of Grand Ayatollah Syed Mohammed Taqi al-Modarresi when he categorically stated, ‘Whichever Marja’ you follow you are guided’. He also said, “Syed as-Seestani is my friend. Syed Khamenei is my friend” when talking about how people wanted to create differences between them. In a famous lesson, during the intellectual battle between the Akhbaris and Usulis, when the groups had vast differences, the leaders of of those periods kept their unity. When Sheikh Wahid Behbehani, head of the Usuli movement, died, he willed that Syed Yusuf al-Bahrani, head of the opposition Akhbari movement, should lead his funeral prayers. This shows the differences are academic but the responsibility of protecting the community was tantamount. And these are the examples set for us. In our last part next week we will ask how do we respond when emails and video clips are circulated within the community.

  Costume designer Meghan Kasperlik has made a name for herself in the world of feature films after first cutting her teeth in the fashion industry and then television.   Out of college she jumped at the opportunity to work with the legendary Patricia Field (Emmy winner for Sex and the City, Oscar nominee for The Devil Wears Prada). Building her resume on shows like Hope & Faith, Cashmere Mafia and Royal Pains, Meghan made the jump to feature films, working as an assistant costume designer on The Dark Knight Rises, American Hustle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Noah and Joy before being the head costume designer on Little Accidents, Crown Heights and It Comes at Night.     Her work on Ramin Bahrani’s 99 Homes brought her to the HBO movie that would earn her her first Emmy nomination, Bahrani's update of Fahrenheit 451 which made its world premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival and stars Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon.    In my interview with Meghan the Emmy-nominee talks about her approach to color and texture when she designs, how she's an expert second-hand shopper and some of her costume design inspirations and favorites of all time (including Keira Knightley's iconic green gown from Atonement).   You can see some of Meghan's most recent work on the upcoming second season of Netflix's The OA. The Emmy voting period ends August 27th at 10pm PST. The Creative Arts Emmys will be a two-night affair on Saturday, September 8th and Sunday, September 9th.

This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob sits down with acclaimed writer and director Ramin Bahrani. Bahrani, who is best known for his independent dramas 'Man Push Cart', 'Chop Shop' and '99 Homes', has recently released the new film through HBO; an adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian classic ‘Fahrenheit 451’, starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon. The novel was previously made into a film by François Truffaut in 1966. Bahrani talks about why he wanted to engage with Bradbury in 2018, how he was able to update a 65 year old story for the digital age, and why the genre of science fiction lends itself so well to political commentary. He also talks about his fear of technology, his fascination with directors Werner Herzog and Mike Leigh, and why, despite his love of cinema, he elected to take this project straight to television.

Hooman Bahrani is sort of a legend in the Kloberdanz household. He was our wedding photographer many years ago, and tore up the dance floor at the reception. He's also a good friend, and our #1 source for really cool news stories. In this episode, we talk about it all, from Hooman's career once upon a time as a corporate airline pilot to what he thinks is the best equipment for an amateur photographer.

Ramin Bahrani (filmmaker, New York) & Bert Rebhandl (critic, Berlin) in conversation at Frieze London in 2010.

The last time I saw Anna Day we were both attending a conference in Dubai. That was just last month, in February. I hopped a plane back to the United States. She went to Bahrain, and was promptly arrested with her crew. They were filming a documentary about the legacy of the Arab Spring uprisings when they were detained by Bahrani authorities and charged with crimes that carried hefty sentences.  Anna recounts that experience in pretty vivid detail. But getting arrested in Bahrain is just the latest challenge that Anna has faced while trying to tell stories from the middle east. She was one of the first western journalists to detail the rise of ISIS in Syria, and before that she was one of the first American journalists in Tahrir square as the Egypt Arab Spring began.    If you are interested in learning more about the situation in Bahrain, I actually served as the publisher of an e- book by the journalist Elizabeth Dickinson about Bahrain, called Who Shot Ahmed, A Mystery Unravels in Bahrain's Arab Spring, that tells the story of the murder of a young activist and his family's quest for justice.
