Ashraf Fayek began his directing career working as an assistant director for director Mohamed Fadel on the television series “Ana wa Antee wa Baba fee Al Mishmish” which starred Hassan A’bdin. Thereafter, he worked alongside director Nadia Hamza on the film “Hams al Gawaree” and several other titles. Ashraf’s first experience directing his own film was in 2001 when he directed “Al Labees” which starred Medhat Saleh and Shereef Mounir. Following that film, Ashraf took a hiatus from feature film directing and began directing documentary films and shorts thus distancing himself from the box office. Soon afterwards, Ashraf (who graduated from the décor division at the Institute of Cinema) returned to direct “Qisat Al Hob Al Sha’bee” (“A Story of Popular Love”) which was his own brainchild. That film featured the talents of several actors and football stars. Ashraf’s most recent work as director was the film “Al Lemby 8 Gega” which starred Mohamed Sa’ad.
