“Saudi-Arabian director Moe Alatawi grew up in a world without cinema. The art form was banned in his country throughout his childhood. Alatawi, however, has still found the inspiration to create his feature film titled, Within Sand.
This film’s existence will have a big impact on Saudi culture, and hopes to appeal to Saudi audiences as well. It is the first film to be shot in Neom, according to Variety. Furthermore, it is produced by two women, Reem Alatawi and Jana Dahlawi."
