About

Hi, I’m Basm Essam—a creative producer and filmmaker who brings commercial content to life on-budget and on-brand. I direct commercials, music videos, and narrative films from concept through post-production, and I run a production studio serving the US and Egyptian markets.

I’m a strong collaborator who balances creative vision with business objectives, building teams and pipelines that deliver results. Through Cima Baladi Films, PT OF THE CITY, and other projects, I’ve led productions from inception to delivery and developed brand identities for regional and international clients.
