MEET FAROUK

Why did you want to get involved in Fried?

I’m always looking for new creative challenges and outlets, it’s just in my nature, this magazine and my creative agency 858 are examples of that. 

What’s your all-time favourite possession?

All of my cameras because I know I’ll never master them all perfectly but the enjoyment comes from knowing ill always have something to learn.

Name one thing about yourself people may not know?

I am a genius.

If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life what would it be and why?

Forest Gump, it was the first movie that made me understand the true meaning of everything happens for a reason, be it positive or negative.

What do you hope to achieve from Fried?

I hope to create a platform that celebrates and gives attention to young and up and coming creatives and talented individuals, of all cultural backgrounds in Ireland primarily but ultimately across the globe.

The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday!
