Frank Verstraeten, a computer genius with a nose for business, a fascination for nightlife and an unhealthy urge to prove himself, only wants one thing: his own disco that not only outperforms the competition but simply humiliates it. The futuristic mega discotheque Zillion is a fact and Frank turns from computer dealer to the pivotal figure of the Antwerp nightlife. He parades with the most beautiful women in Belgium and forges an alliance with Dennis Black Magic, the porn king who provides the spicy extras. Unfortunately, beautiful songs don't last long either.

Untitled Muhammad Abed Baryal film (Whitney Wright)

Invalid Date

Muhammad Abed Baryal has a deep interest in creating a film based on the life and travels of Whitney Wright, a pornographic actress who has traveled to countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. I have reached out to her for the role, and while she appreciated my interest, she kindly declined, stating that she doesn’t see a connection between her career in adult films and the topics of her travels. Despite this, I am still passionate about bringing this unique narrative to life. I believe her story, intertwined with her travels in some of the most complex regions of the world, can provide a compelling and thought-provoking film. While this particular collaboration did not come to fruition, I remain committed to pursuing this project and believe that it holds significant artistic potential.
