My proudest bit of filmmaking to date. A queer Arab Medea, a mythological Almodóvarian intergenerational war between a Muslim mother and her drag queen child. Watch now on WePresents. I call this my rage film. wepresent.wetransfer.com/stories/origin…

These Letterboxd reviews of ORIGINAL SIN are iconic 🫶🏽🩸🧿 - I’m so happy it’s connecting with audiences like this 🙏🏽

Very honoured and moved that ORIGINAL SIN has been featured on @WeAreDN - I am so deeply proud of this short film, and I loved doing this interview. You can read about the film and watch it on the link here. directorsnotes.com/2026/04/28/amr…

The @letterboxd reviews for ORIGINAL SIN are so powerful! Thank you ✊🏽🙏🏽🧿 Honestly, this short film is like the proudest artistic achievement of my life and I’m so proud to share this snapshot of my subconscious with the world ♥️ Watch it here: wepresent.wetransfer.com/stories/origin…

This short film means so much to me. To be able to go so unapologetically nasty, melodramatic and camp as a queer Arab storyteller in these censorious times has been a gift, and I’d love for you to see the full short. Watch ORIGINAL SIN here: wepresent.wetransfer.com/stories/origin…

@jeremyoharris don’t censor 🥹

It might take six years but believe in your friends! Believe in yourself! This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Now it’s all i want to do! In a time when people tell you to censor yourself if you want success I hope this can be the counter argument.

In 2020 my friend Jordan asked me to a read a play people said was too provocative to produce. I read it. I loved it. I asked if he’d let me produce. And with no experience began “producing”. In 2025 we ran 7 months off bway and today we’re the @LortelAward most nominated play.

Thoughts for @MetroUK today about the sad state of Arab representation in Film/TV, and a history of colonial conditioning in this country (including a very racist art GCSE experience when I was 14…) metro.co.uk/2025/12/28/hon…
