Post-YouTube Career
Whilst still appearing on lonelygirl15, Abu-Taleb starred in the 2007 horror film, On Bloody Sunday, alongside fellow web celebrity Annemarie Pazmino of Sorority Forever fame.
Since leaving the show, Abu-Taleb has ventured into producing. He currently produces web series Poor Paul, in which former lonelygir15 co-star Jessica Lee Rose has a recurring role. He says that the comedic aspects and the way the show broke down the fourth wall are what attracted him to it. Currently in the works, Abu-Taleb is executive producing the movie Growth, which is slated for release in 2010 as well as the film Family of Four, also slated for release in 2010. He is currently in pre-production on the feature film The Disconnect. He is also set to produce two new original web series, Blood Letters, a live-action comedy featuring Richard Riehle from Office Space and Endangered, a post apocalyptic series with writer John Shepherd from Nurse Jackie. Recently he can be seen in machinima.com's live action comedy web series, Bite Me - The Gamer's Zombie Apocalypse Series.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
