I had so much fun in @elgounafilmfestivalofficial this year. Watched so many good films and met lots of interesting people. This year is very special for me because it marks a whole decade of living in the US. To be invited back to my home country with an American film it feels a bit wild. Thank you Gouna for the warm reception

To make films, you have to be deeply passionate, fully committed, and convinced your story is worth the time, the struggle, the sacrifice. I never imagined how difficult this path would be, how heavy it could feel at times. But every single moment was worth it. Dreams of Dendara premiered at the Luxor film festival winning best short film for its 15th edition.It all started during Covid, my life changed.It was only in that unexpected stillness, with all that time suddenly mine, that I could truly reflect on my love for movies. For the first time, I allowed myself to dream of becoming a storyteller beyond music, which has always been my original world. I wanted to bring visuals to life, to weave together images, sounds and stories into something meaningful. Four years of learning, watching, writing, and rewriting… four years, including two filled with rejection from production companies who called my film too dreamy, too ambitious. “Dreams of Dendara” would not exist without those incredible talents, those beautiful souls, true artists, an amazing producer, and, above all, a blessing from above.thank you all from all my heart.

Dreams of Dendara is poetic journey into memory, identity and the unseen voices that shape who we become. This is not only a story , it’s a feeling, a ritual and a passage toward freedom. The film will premiere @luxorafricanfilmfestival on the 2nd of April. #dreamsofdendara #ancientegypt #womenvoices #egyptiancinema #filmjourney

Just when you think you found comfort, it drowns you. Searching for home is a long painful journey, but one that, I think, starts within us as we carry it with us.

IT’S OUT!!! 🎬💥 The Oh Ma Demeure music video is finally here and I’m screaming!!! We filmed this in the desert under the wildest skies, chasing a vision that felt bigger than me. Every frame is a piece of my heart — raw, cinematic, full of spirit. This isn’t just a video. It’s a feeling. Go watch it! Feel it!! 💫 Link in bio With the team: Directed by: @elwan79 Creative Direction: Nano Early Visual Development: Nano & @3otared Production: @ra.creativesjo Director of photography: @abzaaid VFX: @zaid_vfx @redteam.pro Camera man: @ashraf_jyy Choreography: @fjkdance Makeup: @laurancebeautysalon Styling: Nano Dressed by: @zaidfarouki Music by: Satie, Nano, & Simon Shaheen Lyrics: Nano Producers: Nano & @emiliodmiler Drum programming: @itsalistone Mixing engineering: @mariaelaisa Mastering engineering: @heba_kadry Ft. @laythsidiq on violin & @naseemalatrash.cellist on cello Executive direction: Queen Zanoubia #nomorewar #nano #nanoraies #OhMaDemeure #MusicVideoOutNow #ArtistVision #EmotionalCinema #NewMusic #ArabArtist #DesertDream

I’m heartbroken by what happened back home. My home is aching and none of us is okay. We’re fragmented and still trying to hold on to some form of home within us. This song and music video is not only a personal story but also a collective one. It is a reflection of the agony and loss, and the resilience and love we carry with us even after we depart from the physical place we once knew as “home.” I send a prayer to my brothers and sisters who have left us and the ones who are still with us. ❤️‍🩹 Music video out on Thursday July 3rd.

From the deserts of memory to the ashes of war—where do we belong when the world forgets peace? I searched for home in the ruins of memory. Today, I search again. Oh Ma Demeure — a song shaped by loss and longing from the wounds of war, now echoing in a world on the edge. 🎥 Music video out July 3rd.

First Mills TVC 2024 I always get excited when I get a brief with limitations and challenges. The director’s treatment required us to shoot with extreme wide lenses to show the vast fields of produce and to get up close to the characters as the camera floats through the scene. I only had 2 lenses on set, a 10mm Ultra Prime and a 15.5-45 Zeiss LWZ for the last shot. While moving from one scene to the next usually my head races to figure what focal length will I shoot on and what will be in the frame, but this time the answers were simple and straight forward. Shooting on the 10mm and EVERYTHING will be in the frame!

In the edit they needed to zoom in on some shots to make the transitions work better.
