Prominent Arab film distributor MAD Solutions has forged a production partnership with Dubai-based broadcaster OSN, the Red Sea Fund, and U.K. Global Screen Fund on Saudi multihyphenate Ahd Kamel&#…
The production partnership for the feature was announced at this week’s Red Sea Film Festival, which is taking place in Jeddah, where the film is also set.
The feature is being produced as an OSN Original for the pay-TV and streaming network that will showcase the film for its MENA audiences. MAD Solutions holds all international distribution rights outside those Arab-speaking territories. Her directorial debut was the 2013 short “Sanctity,” which MAD also distributed. As an actor she starred in the 2014 pic “Wadjda” – the first feature-length film to be shot in Saudi Arabia, whose director, Haifaa Al-Mansour, was the first Saudi woman to direct a feature film. Kamel also co-starred alongside Carey Mulligan in the 2018 BBC/Netflix series “Collateral,” written by David Hare.
Alaa Karkouti and Maher Diab, co-founders of MAD Solutions, commented: “Having watched Ahd develop her labor of love over the years, it gives us so much joy to be part of the production alliance that will finally allow her exquisite story to come to life. Her wonderful story opens a window on life in Saudi Arabia during her formative years, a Saudi world that is now undergoing such rapid transformation.
