The Relevance for Client Work:
Translating a lived intellectual framework into a book people actually finish requires the same discipline as translating a founder's vision into a brand story customers actually remember. Both live or die on structural clarity and voice fidelity.

Feature Documentary Direction: Egyptian Jeanne d'Arc
A feature documentary exploring the archetype of the sacred warrior through the journey of a young Egyptian woman during the 2011 uprising.
The film premiered in the Muhr Feature Competition at the Dubai International Film Festival, screened at the Cairo International Film Festival, and received a post-production grant from the Takmil Workshop at Carthage. Nominated for the Robert Bosch Arab-German Film Prize. Community screenings organized in Palestine, Sudan, Amman, and Tunisia with local partner organizations.
The Relevance for Client Work:
A feature film is a multi-year, multi-partner startup. Directing this film required managing shared authorship across four cultures (Egypt, France, Kuwait, Germany), holding narrative tension across a 90-minute emotional arc, and translating layered political material into an accessible cinematic story. Every one of those skills transfers directly to the brand narrative, launch campaigns, and founder positioning work I do for private clients.

Feature Documentary Direction: Nomad's Home / Beit Sha'ar
A cinematic investigation into Bedouin women's interior freedom and social entrepreneurship in Sinai.
World Premiere at the Dubai International Film Festival, receiving the Special Jury Prize (Muhr Feature Competition). Screened at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival alongside Terrence Malick's work. UNESCO Nomination at FESPACO Ouagadougou. Selected at San Sebastián International Film Festival and Namur Film Festival.
The Relevance for Client Work:
This film required building deep trust across communities where I arrived as a stranger. That skill translates into every founder client whose brand story requires trust-building with an audience they have yet to meet.
