Nahil Sharkasi

I've been working on two interactive documentary projects this semester.

One is on the Umma Community Clinic in south Los Angeles. This is a free clinic started by a group of Muslim medical students after the 1992 riots. I used the Korsakow system to put it together. Video clips and short scenes are linked together both thematically and by character, so that the viewer can navigate the story by following a character or following a topic, or both.

The other is about my family's recent trip to Libya. Since this is a personal story, I'm designing it as more of a guided experience than the korsakow project, which I found really lent itself to more objective, informational work.
