    paper The Green Room

    The Green Room is a cinematic music documentary series that redefines how Arab artists share their stories. Each episode blends live performance, cultural environments, and intimate narrative elements to show the artist’s world from a deeper, more human perspective.

    The project combines multi-camera cinematic production, immersive audio design, and on-location storytelling in homes, studios, and public cultural spaces. Every episode highlights an artist’s identity, influences, and creative process while connecting audiences to the cultural roots behind their sound.

    Developed through a full creative workflow—pre-production workshops, location scouting, audio crafting, immersive filming, and parallel post-production—the series aims to elevate Arab music through compelling storytelling and high-end visual and sound design.

    The Green Room establishes a new format for music media in the region, giving artists a platform to express their vision and giving audiences a closer, more authentic connection to their work.
