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:

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.

My final column for @attitudemag.bsky.social after so many years! I'm emotional!
This one is on storytelling as a political practice, collective empathy, and finding hope in a hopeless world.

My first short film, 2017. I wanted to cinematically exalt femmes and gender nonconforming people in a world that so ferociously tries to diminish and erase. I wanted to share this bit of trans cinematic hope, this week of all weeks.

Please help Alaa and his family survive what’s happening in Gaza - I am in contact with them and they have no more money for food, haven’t eaten in days and the situation is completely desperate - any donation goes a long way. Please 🙏🏽 www.gofundme.com/f/help-alaa-...

NORTH AMERICA - You can now rent / buy LAYLA to watch wherever you get your films. This is a queer Palestinian story about hope, love, joy and freedom, and as our beautiful star Bilal Hasna said - "it rallies against fatalism." I hope you it helps you feel something.

Not Thames Water writing me that I owed an extra 3k this year because I'd "used the equivalent of 6000 baths of water in three months" because of a nonexistent leak, me then fighting for a meter reading, and them then being like "yeah OK you only owe £25 a month" xx capitalism xx
when people on Grindr say things like "just got home lol" it's like come on girly, did you really just laugh out loud x
A night I’ll never forget ♥️
Ok so I was wasted before giving this speech today but I didn’t realise I went in this hard lol
Layla shoulda been a contender! Hate to be that salty bitch but I do agree with Peter Bradshaw here, sorrrrrryyyy. Hope all BAFTA nominees have a beautiful night on Sunday though lol xx
99% of the reason I love Grindr threesomes is because you’re walking into the room knowing at least one human has already found each person you’re about to fuck attractive xx
What diversity panels have done to Glamrou:
Just bought something off a gift registry to celebrate a straight friend's upcoming baby. I really do think queers should be able to create gift registries for seemingly incredible milestones: "3 years in and he finally spent the night! Here's a wish list of Prada loafers," u no?
