The Awesome Link Films

A creative-led production house across Cairo and Dubai that I founded in late 2025. Founders in the room from brief to wrap. The latest three productions. I executive-produced them; other directors directed them.

Built by people who've worked every seat on set: directors, ADs and producers.

04 — About

I came up on set, and now I direct.

I studied mass communication at MSA, specialising in advertising and PR, then worked in graphic design, art production and nightlife events. Somewhere in there a camera got in the way, and I followed it onto set.

From 2017 I worked my way through every seat: second AD on 118 commercials, then first AD on 83 more and 18 music videos, alongside artists like Amr Diab, Tamer Hosny, Marwan Pablo, Marwan Moussa and Massar Egbari.

Now I direct. Juhayna Rayeb for Ramadan 2025, EgyptAir with FC Masar's women's football team, and music videos for MC Abdul, Malak Badawi and Marwan Moussa. In late 2025 I founded The Awesome Link Films, a production house across Cairo and Dubai, built on everything those years on set taught me.
