Engineer. Storyteller. Building Saudi cinema
one impossible project at a time.
01 / About
For more than a decade, I have funded, developed, and produced Saudi films — beginning as a personal mission before cinemas reopened in the Kingdom, and continuing now as part of a new wave of Saudi cinema.
My work moves between independent film, festival-driven cinema, and genre storytelling. From TIFF world premieres to bold Saudi shorts, I am drawn to stories that did not exist yet — especially those shaped by horror, science fiction, fantasy, and cultural myth.
Having lived in Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Japan, I bring a layered mix of cultures, languages, and visual influences into my work.
Currently building MEDIUM, an indie Saudi production company dedicated to horror, sci-fi, and fantasy stories with a global cinematic language.
