‘The Tale of Daye’s Family’ Director Karim El Shenawy Discusses Adaptive Casting Process at Red Sea Film Festival
“The Tale of Daye's Family” director Karim El Shenawy talked about the film's casting process at the Red Sea Film Festival.
It was seeing the collective cast and crew that empowered him to sit back and enjoy the long-awaited screening of “The Tale of Daye’s Family,” he added. El Shenawy said Daye was written as an 11-year-old and the script was ultimately adapted to better reflect the portrayal of the character, played by Badr Mohamed. The director added that the creative team behind “The Tale of Daye’s Family” had no desire to cater to a specific direction or tone, such as making the project resemble an arthouse film or pander to European tastes.
