A movie that began as a project in a University of Michigan film class has beaten out thousands of other entries for a spot at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Bilal’s Stand, the creation of 25-year-old Michigan graduate Sultan Sharrief, is one of eight films in the category, out of about 7,000 submissions. “This story is highly personal, about as personal as you can get,” Sharrief said in a video interview released by the university. “It’s about my life and my family … growing up in Detroit.” Five years in the making, the film tells of an African-American Muslim high school student who works for his family’s cab company.
