After depleting and inhaling 6 aerosol cans of various intensities of spray glue, and still having sagging fabic on the ceiling, I decided to look for a professional. After several frustrated google searches for auto interior shops, I found this comment which stated that “they are very creative. they can install allkinds of gadgets to your cars interior while they are working on it. they dont charge a lot and their work is very good. I love their customer service.” It was closeby- so I called, and that was how I stumbled upon Basem, the owner of this auto interior shop. I arrive at his shop, and we start talking about his family, Israel and Palestine, business, making videos, etc etc. He sees the van, and asks if I like fishing… I think that was his interpretation of the speech bubble squiggles.. to each his own! We find some funky headliner fabric and close the deal. By the end of it all, we are negotiating website building for seat upholstery and planning to shoot a 5-min portrait that can help his business and share his story (he already has the dramatic moments planned out). Stay tuned for more…
