We had the good fortune of connecting with Khaliel Abdelrahim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Khaliel, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was unemployed for maybe about 9 months, couldn’t find a job to save my life, and I couldn’t sit around my apartment anymore so I figured I should start creating. I called some friends and worked out a plan to start filming content for zero dollars. Then I took some money from my unemployment check and filed for a LLC to make it official.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I actually started as a mechanical engineer. I got my degree and realized I didn’t want to be an engineer anymore. I’ve always had an interest in entertainment. Originally, i wanted to be a voice-over actor. So I moved to LA, got myself into film school, and once I graduated, I started working as a PA (production assistant) for a couple reality shows and slowly started moving up the ladder.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love the spontaneity of events in LA. Randomly there’s a pop-up or a concert, all the time, and I don’t know many other places in the world where that happens so I would definitely take advantage of that. Of course we have to explore some of the history, tourist attractions, famous locations, things like that which make LA special. And for food, we’ve got to hit the local spots. LA has some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico and it’s not at the fancy restaurants, lol. I’m willing to die on this hill, lol.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I definitely have to shout out all my friends and family who shared their expertise and spent countless hours helping me create something great. This is a very long list as I’ve had to lean on several people to get anywhere, but each person was extremely important in the completion of each project, and I’m eternally grateful!
