From Giza,
by way of a wall.

Ahmed Naguib
I started on walls — now I build the worlds behind the camera.

I grew up in Giza, surrounded by the magic and mystery of ancient and modern Egypt. I started as a street artist and calligraphy painter, and that is why I went to France to study the magic of 3D — so I could tell stories through animated film.

Studying 3D and animation film-making in France taught me how to use the tools this world needs to tell stories of life and fantasy. I am always looking for projects that push me further than the last one.
