Kasem M. Raad (born in Beirut, Lebanon) is an entrepreneur, producer, director and model. He is the founder and owner of K Produktions multinational conglomerate corporation. Kasem was born in Beirut, Lebanon on June 17, 2003. He's the son of the calligraphy artist and Set Decorator Mohamad I. Raad. He was raised in Hadath neighborhood. He was schooled in 2 different private schools, according to the Lebanese Education System, he was Pre-Schooled in one of Al-Mustafa Schools, and Basic educated both two elementary and intermediate levels in Khomeini Educational Complex - Hadath. After Kasem succeeded in the National Exam (Grade 9 Brevet) he decided to skip Secondary Education to study his passion in Media Production so he completed in the Tertiary Education System BT (Technical Baccalaureate) Graphic Design Major in one of Al-Massar Institutes in Beirut. And in 2019, he moved to Berlin, Germany to do the Media Ausbildung. His childhood was a little bit tough because he was being ridiculed in school for his different interests from other guys as well as for not being interested in sports classes and sitting alone instead. Kasem overcame all the ridiculing that he was exposed to, by ignoring and not giving any importance to the school folks. In addition to his father's death in 2017 when Kasem was 15 and a half years old. At the period of Kasem's intermediate level education in school, he started creating Visual Presentations (PowerPoint, etc...) for his classes and he discovered that he was enjoying creating and presenting those stuff. So he started freelancing at the age of 14 to develop himself. Kasem wanted to gain experience while he was freelancing and studying at the same time, so he volunteered at MTV Lebanon, OTV, and Bintjbeil.org. While he was developing his passion he gained attention from Public Figures around him so they started to invite him to events in Filmmaking & Media industry. As he worked at Rammal Design Institute as a Photoshop and Editing teacher for people older than him. In addition to creating his own podcast (Kasem Lab) which is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Play Music. In 2018 Kasem wanted to have his own Team/Company so he started improving his equipment and gathering people around his age who have the same interests and he created SKP-Studio K Production which is known today as K Produktions. When he moved to Berlin he completed with K Produktions in Lebanon as he also gathered people with the same interests and made a team in Berlin.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
