Happy Christmas from all of us, and big thanks to @joeguestdotcom (edit) @thomasguestmusic (sound) and our good friends at @electric_theatre_collective for all their help.
So excited to share the exclusive trailer of ORIGINAL SIN 🩸, which is premiering at BFI #LFF this week (other festival screenings to be announced 😉)
Eternally grateful to @wepresent for commissioning me to make this film, it’s been a dream come true really, and to my esteemed team @knucklehead_hq for producing this so slickly! And of course to my cast and all my incredible HODs and crew. A filmmaker is only as good as their team, and I have the best team and am absurdly lucky😭
When I started making films, I wanted to put my hopes and dreams onto the screen. Now I want to expunge my nightmares through the medium 😈. I’ve found filmmaking to be one of the most incredible ways to sublimate trauma into something beautiful and meaningful for audiences (and myself).
This short has really allowed me to explore my deepest questions and obsessions - breaking the curses of intergenerational trauma, interrogating the “tensions” between drag femininity and womanhood, drag and Arab femininity, religious trauma, maternal revenge, the cyclical nature of trauma, the fetishisation of suffering and who gets to own their narrative.
I can’t wait for you all to see it! Feeling very blessed today!!! 🧿

The ORIGINAL SIN tour begins 😈🎥💫 - screening at two UK BAFTA-qualifying film festivals this fall - #BFILondonFilmFestival #LFF & #AestheticaShortFilmFestival @asffestival 🙏🏽🥰😭
Commissioned by @wepresent & produced by @knucklehead_hq, this film is like a raw expression of my soul (it’s giving horcrux) 🩸🩸🩸
Original Sin is an Oedipal war between a Muslim woman and her drag queen son as they fight for the spotlight and the chance to have femininity exalt them, examining who gets to own trauma, and whether fiction is more honest than truth. Can intergenerational curses ever be lifted, or must someone always be sacrificed…? 🪬🪬🪬
