Mohamed Sakr is an Egyptian filmmaker who practically grew up on film sets. As the son of a prolific director behind more than 30 tv series, he spent his childhood summers observing the filmmaking world and occasionally performing as a child actor. He later graduated from the American University in Cairo, where he won first prize for his graduation thesis film.

​

Before starting his own journey as a director, Sakr spent over a decade as an Assistant Director, working on major films, series, and over 100 commercials across the MENA region. His first narrative short film, A Short Ride (2026), reflects his passion for authentic, local stories. He is currently developing his second film while continuing to work in commercials.
