And how do you see the idea of platform series from your point of view?
Platform series is a state that keeps pace with the times because this is its time and this is the rhythm of the times and this is the drama. Drama changes according to the requirements of technology or technology and its development throughout the world. It is a good thing because it is inspired by the young audience who does not have enough time to follow a series in an hour and a half.
And how do you see the drama on the scene now, and is it different from the past?
The method of preparing the artistic drama has changed a lot due to the change of time. Art has become like medicine and a tool for describing reality in a different dramatic form, but there must be oversight and officials to properly give this medicine to the audience, and the truth is that the current drama has become, of course, different from the “time drama”, The difference does not stop only at the “basic themes”, but extends to tools such as: the method of subtraction, and the various techniques associated with the development of the industry itself. Change occurs every period; A change in the style of writing, directing, acting, sound, theater and technology, a difference in vision, formats, and other differences in the industry.
What are your criteria for choosing the role?
I prefer to present the role or work that I believe in; So that I can present it and gain the admiration of the audience, even if the drama is fiction.
What is new for you in the coming period?
The series Al Wansh, starring Mohamed Ragab, Ehab Fahmy, and Menna Fadali, is scheduled to be shown to me, directed by Ismail Farouk.
