Non-actors, a daring debut, and a story that stares straight into class guilt and the divides that shape us. Sarah Goher’s Happy Birthday, triple Tribeca winner and Egypt’s official Oscar submission and the GFF opening film, draws from her own coming-of-age.
In this episode of Lights, Camera, Brunch!, we sit down with Goher, producer Ahmed El Desouky, and the film’s young stars Doha Ramadan, Khadeeja Ahmed and Fares Omar, who turn the tables to interview Goher herself, the filmmaker who’s been juggling roles as director, mom, and on-set crisis manager all at once.
