About
Hi, I'm Hasenien Dousery - a director working in both film and commercial spaces.
I've built my career as a freelance director, partnering with global brands to bring diverse stories to the screen. My journey through commercials, documentaries, and music videos has shaped my approach to visual storytelling.
What drives me is my fascination with human nature and the language of arthouse cinema. I'm drawn to stories where reality blends with the mythical - finding extraordinary moments in everyday life. My work explores how local traditions and personal memories can shape our understanding of the world.
Currently, I'm developing my first feature film that explores local folklore through a contemporary lens. The project weaves together traditional beliefs with raw, present-day realities. To me, filmmaking goes beyond creating visuals - it's about revealing the hidden truths beneath the surface.
As Mike Leigh once said, "The whole thing about making films in an organic way is that it's not about bursts of inspiration—it's about a daily, ongoing, relentless commitment."
