Being both English and Egyptian has given me great insight into different types of filmmaking, and diving deeper into culture, family and identity. While studying in the UK, i recognised the importance of collaboration, organisation and helping a team grow immensely stronger by helping one another. I absolutely love and enjoy to pre-production and production side of filmmaking; creating schedules, organising shoots, securing cast and locations. But I also enjoy being able to create a cohesive environment in order to help creative ideas become achievable. And that’s why I specialised in First Assistant Directing and Producing at University, I love to bring a balance to emotion and organisation.
