Detroit, 2009. Sahir Rashid, a carpenter by trade, was out of work due to the housing market crash the year prior. One day, while in downtown Detroit, he noticed a film set. Being naive, he decided to walk onto the set to find the Director so he could ask if school was needed to become a Director or to work in film. The movie was Red Dawn. Lucky for him, he met the Sound Mixer, Kirk Francis, and that's where this journey began. Kirk invited him to observe the set that day and right away he knew that film production was what he wanted to do. He returned the next day and was introduced to the Assistant Directors. They put him to work as a Set PA that day and the rest is history. He has worked on a variety of films and has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. His experience in the film industry has been extensive and he has contributed to the efficiency and productivity of many productions. He accumulated 750 Set PA days during that time while laying a professional foundation to become the 2nd Assistant Director he is today. He's currently working as a 2nd 2nd AD in Atlanta, Georgia as a local.
