THE OGRESS OF FEZ.

LOGLINE

Within the confines of a colonial brothel in 1930s Morocco, Oum El Hassen, a madame turned serial killer, navigates a delicate path of power and complicity. As the fragile order of her world crumbles, she must confront the cost of survival in a system that both sustains and consumes her.

CREATIVE DOSSIER AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

ABOUT THIS SPACE

This development journal will chart the development of The Ogress of Fez from its early genesis through to (hopefully) completion. It’s a way for me to organise my thoughts during research, but it also aims to lift the curtain on the filmmaking process. Having entered the industry without the advantage of familial or personal connections, I recognise the value of demystifying it. By sharing insights into the craft, I hope to extend the ladder to others on a similar path, showing that screenwriting and directing are not the preserve of an elite few.
