Majid Al Ansari is a director and producer whose debut feature film Zinzana (Rattle The Cage) had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX, and its European premier at BFI London Film Festival. Variety called Zinzana "A World Class Neo Noir Thriller" and awarded Majid "Arab Filmmaker of the Year" at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival. Zinzana was subsequently picked up by IM Global for world-wide representation and sold to Netflix as the first Arab film acquisition after branching out to the Middle East.
Majid then served as Executive Producer on three major Arab films, including Yasir Al Yasiri's Shabab Sheyab, Mohammad Saeed Harib's Rashid and Rajab and Shahed Ameen's Scales - which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival Critics Week in 2019 and won the Club Verona award for most innovative film.
In 2020, Majid directed three episodes of the Netflix series Paranormal. The series, based on Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's renowned novels, was the first Egyptian original series for the global streaming platform and was a top trending series following its November release.
