Next, Ba-Tahaf is trying another genre – dark comedy – with the series Jameel Jeddan, created by Sarah Taibah for MBC Studios. The feature also blends genres – as he says, “I like to add elements of life’s uneasiness and harshness through bits of horror.” I tried to tell it from a humanist approach and I hope that it opens conversations among the audience.” Ba-Tahaf explains, “ Fay’s Palette is a different coming-of-age story than what we’re used to here, about something that exists in the community even though we don’t like to discuss it openly. It is about a young woman dominated by her brother, who becomes obsessed with painting. His debut feature is a drama with psychological thriller elements called Fay’s Palette, which is having its world premiere at Red Sea.
