About
I’m Nia Mahran, a Cairo-based visual storyteller specializing in VFX, CGI and animation. As co-founder and VFX/CGI director at With A Twist Studios, I steer the creative and technical direction from concept to final composite, always aiming for original, culturally resonant visuals.
My work spans films, commercials, and game visuals, including award-winning pieces like Mafiish and Masla7tak. I love mentoring diverse teams, building efficient pipelines, and collaborating with directors, artists, and editors to bring bold stories to life.
