Director Biography - Samy Osman

Action, comedies, martial arts films are the genres I grew up watching the most. It also is what sparked my interest to get into acting.

I later developed a love for all genres and some of my favorite movies are dramas, but for some reason, when it comes to creating projects, most of my ideas are comedic.

Director Statement

I had a bit of a beard going and sort of grew attached to it. Having to shave it for a gig, I quickly came up and shot this comedy with my friend.

The two of us formed the entirety of the cast and crew team involved on this film.
