If you've watched and enjoyed my latest short, ORIGINAL SIN, it would really help the life of the film if you could leave us a review on Letterboxd. YouTube put all kinds of censorious restrictions because of the queer Muslim content . I'm SO proud of it

I love how Black Holes are basically the same as death. We know they are there, that they are inevitable. but no one alive will ever know what’s inside. To know what’s inside, you’ll have to die. And no one alive can ever know death.

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.

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:

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/honou…
