Feeling Fine

Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller is a mixed-race Palestinian Screenwriter and Director based in Toronto. Her work explores themes of fragmented identity, isolation and connection through grounded "oh no, should I laugh?" comedy. Fateema’s background in improv and clown greatly influences her writing and directing process as she strives to create with integrity, depth and a sense of humour. Fateema embraces comedy to explore the pains and joys of being human and believes in resilience and resistance through laughter. She is particularly passionate about writing nuanced and humanizing representations of Arabs and Muslims for the screen and creating accessible space for marginalized voices both in front of and behind the camera.
