About Adam Abdelghaffar:
Adam Abdelghaffar is an Egyptian film director and scriptwriter whose work combines character-driven storytelling with a distinctive visual sensibility.
His most recent work is The Frenchman (Al Fransawy), a series he wrote and directed, starring Amr Youssef. He previously co-created, co-wrote, and directed episodes of the anthology series Nemra Etneen.
Adam also wrote and directed the award-winning short film Fork & Knife, starring Menna Shalaby, Asser Yassin, and Eyad Nassar. Its screenplay won first prize at the El Gouna Film Festival, before the film travelled to several regional and international festivals.
Before moving into film and television, Adam spent nearly a decade as a Creative Director at Leo Burnett, learning how to capture attention, communicate ideas, and turn words into memorable images. He is also a visual artist whose work has been exhibited in several countries.
Working across writing, directing, and visual art has shaped his approach to storytelling: every line on the page is a promise—and the director must be ready to live up to it.
