The first two installations of “Mudblood” already have garnered over two million views on YouTube. “It’s great to be able to find these hidden gems in order to film and bring these ideas that were in my head to life.” “I love finding cool locations around Ohio and Cleveland,” Faraj said. He said the majority of the series was shot on the west side of Cleveland.

“I always wanted to make a Harry Potter film and direct one, so I decided this was the perfect opportunity.”įaraj said he and his team produced the first installation of “Mudblood” in 2020, and received funding for the final two episodes this year.

“My first ever movie at 13 was a Harry Potter movie, and with the pandemic, I began to think about why I began filmmaking in the first place,” he said.
