A Free Society

Ramzi Abed is a visual artist and filmmaker based on Planet Earth.

Ramzi Abed has always been a champion of independent film. Ramzi has worked in film acquisitions for over a decade, and has always focused on discovering new talent and creating new avenues for new filmmakers.

Ramzi wrote and directed the independent thrillers, The Devil’s Muse and Telephone World, which both went on to become cult films over the years, both garnering broad releases on home video and streaming channels including Netflix and Tubi. Ramzi has worked in practically every area of filmmaking that exists, and has created an interesting if controversial legacy that transcends genre and industry. He directed two music videos for Bitter:Sweet, including a version of their song, "Drama", featuring Serj Tankian of System of a Down. He also produced a hugely popular music video for the song, "The Chosen Legacy", by metal legends, Dimmu Borgir. He is currently active developing new projects, listening to lots of records and taking avant-garde digital and 35m photographs in his spare time.

Ramzi most recently directed the music video for "A Free Society", the title song from the debut album by Night Crickets, a jazzy post-punk supergroup comprised of David J Haskins (of Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) and Victor De Lorenzo (of Violent Femmes) and renowned musician, Darwin Meiners.

Abed's latest feature films are First Person Savior and Let Love In. First Person Savior stars John Karyus (Foxfur, V/H/S/2), James Duval (Nowhere, Donnie Darko), Dawn Wirth, and is about and inspired by gun violence and video games in present-day America. Let Love In stars Victoria de Mare (Dust Up, Stripped) and Ramzi Abed, and is about the search for love and personal peace against the backdrop of the world of adult films. Both films are now finished, and ready for exhibition soon.
