About Us
Based in London, we have been a writing team since 2015 and best friends since we were kids growing up in North Africa.

Having grown up between international schools in different countries, including the Netherlands where I spent the better part of thirteen years, the question of identity has ever been at the forefront of my mind. What causes us to dream in one language, but to curse in another? To feel at home nowhere in particular and yet everywhere all at once?
I think for me, the trick has been to find balance in the chaos of the mix and to not let one facet overpower the other - much like in a Tunisian Shakshouka from back home. Having these different identities swirling within me has undeniably defined my approach to storytelling and the way in which Seif and I develop our characters.
Seif Borin
Growing up in Africa and hailing from two very different families and cultures (Italy and Morocco) influenced my storytelling journey. In a nomadic life where stability was elusive, stories allowed me to connect with people on a personal and emotional level, building friendships that lasted to this day.
Introspectively, this may have been the reason I have always been captivated by the intricate threads of human connections. My co-writer, Khalil, shares this fascination, which is why our work primarily centers around the exploration of complex familial relationships and the nuanced dynamics of friendships. Each screenplay is a testament to the belief that, at our core, we are all bound by the universality of the human condition and timeless themes.
Thank you for visiting our corner of the storytelling world. We hope that the stories we tell strike a chord with you in some way.
