75East Signs Egyptian Director Karim Shaaban As ‘6 Days’ Shoot With Ahmed Malek Gets Underway
Dubai-based 75East has signed Egyptian director Karim Shaaban as he shoots new feature 6 Days in Cairo, with Ahmed Malek and Aya Samaha
He is the latest signing in a growing roster of talent on the 75East books since its launch last December with a focus on SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa), alongside the likes of Jordanian Oscar-nominee Bassel Ghandour ( Theeb) and Egyptian Palme d’Or-nominee Abu Bakr Shawky ( Yomeddine). Shaaban most recently directed the short film I Don’t Care if the World Collapses, starring Egyptian superstar Salma Abu Deif as an ambitious advertizing producer whose path crosses an actor excited about landing his first role in a commercials shoot. New feature 6 Days sees Shaaban direct rising Egyptian stars Ahmed Malek and Aya Samaha as two former high school sweethearts, whose chance reunion years later tests whether love can survive the passage of time.
