10-12-23 Arabs making headway in Hollywood but not just as actors S3E24
Chicago -- More and more Arabs are entering the moviemaking industry but not just as actors and they are expanding into many of the industry's key foundation positions, two Arab Americans who play prominent roles in filmmaking said.
Egyptian American Mico Saad, an actor and filmmaker and member of the Golden Globes Jury, and Lebanese American Hamzah Saman, the president of his own casting company, told Arab News "changes are necessary" to push open the doors of Hollywood filmmaking which plays a major role in defining how the world sees different people.
Saad immigrated to England from Alexandria, Egypt where he discovered a robust filmmaking industry, and then in 2018 immigrated to America which he calls "the entertainment capital of the world" where he carved out career as both an actor and producer creating several TV shows.
