Director Biography - Mariam El-Nowaihi

Mariam El-Nowaihi is a director, writer, cinematographer, and producer, born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. Mariam graduated with a bachelor's degree in Film and Media studies in 2022 from the British University in Egypt. Mariam has made several short films in the the past two years.
