Abdullah Abu-Mahfouz
Director
Hi! I'm Abdullah. I'm a Muslim American film director on a lifelong mission of telling stories that heal myself and others. I am most curious about sci-fi, fantasy, historical, drama, and war genres. What I love most about film is getting that "I'm so sad this is over" feeling when finishing an amazing story.
My Work
Brothers' Iftar
Creator: Abdullah Abu-Mahfouz
A huge drug deal, family ties, and friendships are destroyed for a gangster when his older brother crashes his family's Iftar, a traditional Muslim dinner. This short film was inspired by my relationship with my own brother, and I hope to direct it this coming spring. I am a Muslim American director/writer for 5 years and founder of Reel Nation Media.
