With original content and fresh storytelling, Saudi Arabia’s local breakthrough talent are smashing box office records and driving a new wave of Saudi cinema.
“The success of our film is all down to an outstanding cast and crew,” he says. “We look forward to producing many more films that resonate with local and international audiences.” He continues, “Audiences are extremely hungry for content they can relate to and laugh about. Jokes and phrases that they understand. It’s an Elysian Field for dreamers and makers. With strong ideas and hard work, everything is possible.”
Faris Godus, who directs and edits “Midday Nightmares,” explains, “This is a great time for Saudis to create authentic, original works, especially with local films breaking the box office. It’s inspiring for everyone and encourages us to prove ourselves.” Currently, Saudi Arabia is home to several incubators that support and empower emerging Saudi film talent, including the Red Sea International Film Festival. Last year, the now-crucial platform showcased a wide-ranging selection of almost 40 Saudi productions and co-productions, including features, documentaries and shorts.
