About the Filmmaker
Waleed Bedour was born in 1975 in Cairo to Egyptian parents. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 1998.
Heavily impacted by the response to Arabs in America following the 9/11 tragedy, Waleed began to think of ways to change the negative perception of Arabs & Muslims in the West – and what better way to do that than by making films.
In 2008, Waleed moved to New York to pursue his dream of becoming a prominent director in the American film industry. He directed a short film “Tick Tock” in 2008, which won the Merit award in the Los Angeles Cinema film festival and was screened in numerous festivals in the USA.
