That foundation built something rare
A filmmaker who understands the brief as well as he understands the frame.
After nearly a decade in the ad world, he made the move to directing full time and hasn't looked back. His work spans commercials and long-form — from high-impact brand campaigns to series and films that have placed him among the most in-demand directors coming out of Egypt right now. Credits include the series Rivo, Zienhom, Athena, and Faqret El Saher, alongside a growing slate of features.
The craft is precise. The eye is cinematic. The range is real.
Big Ideas, Real Impact
Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.
Where Stories Live Longest
The long game. Yahya's work in film and series is where his vision goes full depth, stories built with intention, visuals that hold their own, and a director's instinct sharpened by years of knowing exactly what an audience needs to feel.
