While this is the first time they work together on a film, Moussa and Ali Ali previously teamed up on the music video for the hit song ‘Tesla’, which saw the rapper explore a new cinematic visual direction in the form of a grim prison drama.

‘Smokey Eyes’ stars Egyptian actor Hassan Abouelrouss and is filmed by Beirut-based cinematographer Pierre Mouarkech, who’s a frequent collaborator on Ali Ali’s projects. However, details on the plot of the film, as well as the rest of the cast, have yet to be announced.
