'AlGaid' is the first production from Telfaz11's 9-picture deal with Neom.
Directed by Hussar Alhulwah and shooting in the sprawling production hub of Neom, “AlGaid” unfolds against the backdrop of the early 20th-century Arabia desert and is described as blending the revenge genre with Bedouin soap opera tropes. Among the newly-announced ensemble cast for the feature is renowned actor Yagoub Alfarhan, recently seen in the Red Sea Film Festival-winning film “Norah” but best known for the mini-series “Rashash.” Joining Alfarhan is Saad Alshatti and Khalid Abdulaziz (“Head to Head”), plus Husam AlHarthi (“The Matchmaker”) Asem Alawad (“Raven Song”), Ayman Mutahar (“Rashash”) and Fahad Bin Salem (“Mandoob”). Behind the camera are director of photography Son Doan (“Sofia”), production designer Ahmed Baaqil (“Naga”) and the Spanish prosthetic team INSIDEFX (“La Casa De Papel”).
