Little SNEEK PEAK @ The 15 day red epic shoot in UZBEKISTAN

[Avi Cohen]

This is the BTS for the lovely and talented Uzbek artist Googoosha and a little taste of her song round run.

It was an incredible experience and they treated us like family.

Uzbeks are wonderful and very hospitable people. Unfortunately, when it comes to music videos in ex-Soviet influenced part of the world, nothing is that simple.
Googoosha is Gulnora Islomovna Karimova, the eldest daughter of the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov.
A US diplomatic cable leaked by Wikileaks describes her as "the single most hated person in the country" and reports that Uzbeks "see Karimova as a greedy, power-hungry individual who uses her father to crush business people or anyone else who stands in her way".

OT: Funny how that works.
Often when I hear of a shoot in such a place, including Dubai, with an import westerner behind the camera, I suspect the situation is the local Elites playing with the money they made walking on the backs of the poor. In Dubai having Red footage shot there by a westerner seems to be a quaint hobby of billionaires there.

Les, maybe this is true, on an extremely rare occasion,furthermore, that could happen anywhere in the world,
but there is a lot of legitimate work here for features, TVC and corporates and you are insulting a lot of people who work here and who's skill set would be thought of as a very high standard anywhere in the world, with your sweeping statement.
Have you ever worked here in Dubai ? You sound awfully bitter
