READ AN EXTRACT OF 'SAM: A TEENAGE GIRL'

‘Aurora Sky’, a magical realist Drama Feature, won Cannes Scripts, Winter 2026 for Best Female Screenwriter.

My work encompasses multi-genres, focusing on centrally humanistic and strongly character-led narratives that cut to the core of a social message. I hold accreditation from the National Film and Television School for Script Writing for Film & TV; Developing & Pitching Drama. I am currently adapting a 2024 published novel into a feature film as screenwriter and development producer to the project.

PROJECTS

‘AURORA SKY’, mythological thriller feature film screenplay. Magical realist in tone, with inspiration drawn from Greek mythology, specifically the ‘Orpheus’ myth. ‘Aurora Sky’ is a refugee story, in which ‘Orpheus’ is Palestinian and female.

‘Aurora Sky’ plays with representations between mythology and hyper-realism, in which the Gods become flesh. After his death, the protagonist, Noor sees visions of her husband, Aster, and ventures to the “underworld” nightclub in Kingston, South-West London to find him. The audience is led to questions what’s real, erasing the distinction between reality and other-worldliness.

The TV pilot, ‘SAM: A TEENAGE GIRL’, features a queer teenage, Muslim protagonist growing up in 1990s South West London. I engaged with youth culture (and a love for 90s music) to develop the screenplay, bringing a flavour of Gen Z to a view of recent history.
