Katara Studios CEO Ahmed Al Baker on developing a pan-Arab musical and relocating production of Palestinian drama 'All Before You.'
Katara Studios produced a 20-minute musical spectacle of “The Lost Chapter” that featured pan-Arabic actors playing animals that are native to Asia and Middle East, some of which now extinct, who inhabit a mythical universe. The “Lost Chapter” world is “an open canvas to create a universe that a lot of stories can emerge from in different genres and formats,” Al Baker points out, adding that some spinoffs will be in the film and TV sphere. Meanwhile, on the more conventional moviemaking side, Katara Studios is co-producing Oscar-nominated Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir ‘s historical drama “All Before You,” which reconstructs the 1936 farmer-led revolt against British colonial rule in Palestine.
