Ramy Moharam Fouad (1999) is a Belgian film director, photographer and actor.
His passion for the audiovisual world is rooted in photography, where Ramy was able to experiment a lot during his teenage years. In 2021, he obtained a bachelor's degree in audiovisual arts from Sint-Lukas Brussels. He graduated with his short film "Til I Return," which, among other short film festivals, was selected at FIFF Namur and the opening night of the International Short Film Festival Leuven. However, his career started much earlier, long before he began his higher studies. While studying Humanities in high school, he already delved into the professional audiovisual world.
At the age of 16, Ramy directed his first music video, "Cigar", for his brother, singer-songwriter Tamino. This music video, along with his subsequent visual work, received acclaim, leading to collaborations with various artists in the Flemish music industry. He continued to oversee the entire visual aspect of his brother Tamino's work, with whom he still collaborates frequently. Meanwhile, he created music videos for Selah Sue, blackwave, Sam De Nef, Emma Bale, collaborated with Willem Ardui, Zwangere Guy, Trixie Whitley, Oscar & The Wolf, and more. In January 2024, Ramy, along with his co-directors, won a MIA (Music Industry Awards, Flemish music awards) for Best Music Video for his latest work, "Sunflower", featuring Tamino and Angèle.
In recent years, Moharam Fouad has also established himself as a director in the fashion world, creating several films for the Antwerp-based fashion house Jan-Jan Van Essche, including two in collaboration with internationally acclaimed choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
Currently, Ramy is working on his own fiction projects, intending to further develop the experience gained over the years on various sets of music videos, commercials, fashion, and his own short films in his own authored work. He is currently writing a short film, a series, and his first feature film. Telling the stories he feels that need to be told. Despite his young age, Ramy has already managed to create a visual world of his own.
In front of the camera, he has accumulated years of experience as a model for photoshoots and fashion shows. He made his acting debut in 2021, portraying the role of Wesley in the series "F*** You Very Very Much" by director Bert Scholiers. Ramy went to drama school for ten years, but he lost sight of that calling when he discovered his visual talents. His experience in "FYVVM" reignited his passion for acting, realizing how experiences in front of the camera make him a wiser director, and vice versa. It certainly won't be the last time he takes on an acting role.
