From script to screen, and life in between – Living a life of passion with grace, courage and a never-ending spark in my soul.

I am a devoted artist, filmmaker and philanthropist, in love with life. With my work – either as a leading female artist or as a supportive coach – I want to contribute to our humanity in a meaningful way and make our world a better place to leave behind for our children.

I am committed to my projects with all my heart. They mirror my values, feelings and my being and I am deeply grateful to be able to share my inner world with beautiful people, who can resonate with it.

With a unique background as a screenwriter, director and actor coming from the two contrasting cultures of Austria and Egypt I bring a multifaceted, profound and innovative perspective to my work in film. 

My career in the entertainment industry for over 20 years has equipped me with a deep understanding of storytelling, producing and directing actors, all of which I leverage to create outstanding movies.
