Abd El Ghaffar’s first short film Shoka w Sekeena (Fork & Knife) won first prize for the Best Script at the El Gouna Film Festival in 2017. It’s worth mentioning that the short film was selected at the Rome Film Festival, Gabes Film Festival, Batroun Film Festival, and Malmo Arab Film Festivals. It was later nominated at the Elia Film Festival for Best Script and Best Director awards and acclaimed Egyptian actress Menna Shalaby won Best Actress for her performance in it.

Beyond the set, when Adam’s not writing, he’s probably in the kitchen, unleashing his inner chef! Besides cooking, Adam’s hobbies also include photography and other formats of visual arts.
