In Venice – Solayman

IN VENICE is a series of three short portraits that follows the lives of Myriah, Terrell and Solayman. Their individual stories are tied together by their mutual deep connection to Venice Beach.

Once a snake charmer in the souks of Morocco, Solayman now lives in LA, where he plays his flute at the Drum Circle every Sunday night. After giving up his passion of being a pilot and flying cargo planes for most of his life, he now works the nightshift as a security guard. Often bored and desillusioned by his every day life, he finds peace and meaning in being part of the Venice Drum Circle.
