Dr. MamRash, a seasoned professional with a wealth of experience in the field of media, was approached by Mr. Mohammed Sherwani on June 15th, 2019 to take on the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) at CineKurd. One of the primary projects that Dr. MamRash oversaw in this role was a documentation project in collaboration with Luvión Beauty Center, owned by Kurdish singer Helly Luv, which was funded by the European Union-Erbil.
The project aimed to provide livelihoods for refugees in response to the Syrian crisis. To achieve this goal, the UNDP’s Headway program, funded by the EU MADAD Fund, organized vocational training on hairdressing and makeup skills for six refugees, in collaboration with Helly Luv. A salon was also built inside Qushtapa camp to enable these refugees to work and earn an income to support their families. Dr. MamRash worked closely with the team on this project, documenting the various stages of the training and the salon's opening.
The documentation work involved shooting at different locations, including Luvion Beauty Center, boutique wedding dresses, and Qushtapa Refugee Camp. Simultaneously, Dr. MamRash was also involved in producing videos for various events, including top DJ parties in Erbil, such as the White Party at Rotana, and Canada Day at Rotana for the Canadian Embassy. His role in these projects was to manage the video production process and ensure that the final products were of the highest quality.
In September 2022, Dr. MamRash took on a new role as a “Critic of Medical Accuracy in Film Production” for a movie directed by Mr. Sherwani. Despite the inherent dangers of the job, their commitment to raising awareness about the suffering of the Iraqi people motivated them to take on this challenge. The filming took place at Hassan Sham Camp near Mosul, which is home to over 250,000 internally displaced persons, including former ISIS members who have served prison sentences for crimes they committed while in the caliphate. Dr. MamRash's expertise in the field of media and their dedication to accuracy and authenticity were essential in ensuring the movie's medical accuracy.
Overall, Dr. MamRash's contributions to these projects were crucial in ensuring their success. His extensive experience in media and his ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously were instrumental in achieving the desired outcomes for these projects.
