Bayan students display acting talents in Omani TV series

By Deeba Hasan,

Four talented students from Bayan College have been shooting for a new Omani TV series (Hakaya Ijtimaiya) schedule to be broadcasted on Oman TV throughout the holy month of Ramadan. The four students are Zuwina Al Ghadani, Maha Omar Abdulla, Amira Al Mazrooi and Khulood Al Mamari.

The shooting has been going on for four months now and is expected to get over by the end of July and will be broadcasted during August, when Ramadan falls. The four students feel they are very lucky to work with Dr. Khalid Al Zedjali, the director of the series and a pioneer in filmmaking in the country.

Out of the four, two students- Zuwina and Maha are not new to acting on screen, they have previously acted for some TV series and documentary films and this series would be another enriching experience for them under Dr. Khalid’s guidance.

Maha expressed her joy by saying, “I am very excited, we have had a good time shooting in different locations, it has been great.” She has also done theatre while in school which gave her a good experience in acting.

The students are called for shooting around four days a week and the shooting takes place in different areas of the country namely- Musandam, Sohar, Sur and Salalah. The students are very happy and proud on getting this wonderful opportunity.

Zuwina says, “Acting in this series will help me improve my acting skills greatly, I love to work with the entire crew, my friends and we go to different locations, that lets us travel around and work as well, its phenomenal.”

"It is a wonderful practical experience for the students, because here they apply their acting knowledge and skills. Because it goes beyond classroom teaching, they learn a lot from the overall experience of working in a team, going for shooting in different locations, keeping up with the schedules and I am sure if they continue doing good work like this, they will surely get more oppurtunities in the future. I am happy with their performance." said Dr. Khalid
All the four students are broadcasting majors and acting enthusiasts.
