In a significant stride towards expanding her global footprint, MENA actress Yasmina El-Abd has inked a deal with David Unger’s Artist International Group (AIG) for U.S. representation, marking a new era in her burgeoning career.

? Rising Star in the MENA Region: El-Abd, already a prominent figure in Middle Eastern cinema, is currently basking in the success of her musical feature ‘Sukkar,’ produced by MBC Studios. The film, which is set to premiere on the streaming platform Shahid on December 24, has already enjoyed a strong box office presence since its October release.

? Versatile Acting Prowess: El-Abd’s acting portfolio is as diverse as it is impressive. She has graced the screen in Netflix’s Middle Eastern original ‘Finding Ola’ and appeared in the HBO Max and CBBC kids series ‘Theodosia’. Up next, she’s co-starring in Adi Hasak’s upcoming series ‘Karantina’, featuring James Franco, a project with an array of renowned studios and production companies on board.

? A Global Talent on the Rise: With AIG’s backing, El-Abd is set to navigate the intricate landscape of Hollywood. This partnership is not just a career move; it’s a bridge between the MENA acting scene and the broader international audience.

? Reprising a Beloved Role: Fans of ‘Finding Ola’ will be thrilled to know that El-Abd is set to reprise her role as Zeina in the show’s second season. The first season, which debuted in February 2022, soared to international acclaim, ranking in the Top 10 worldwide and dominating the charts in the Arab-speaking world for three weeks.

Yasmina El-Abd’s journey with Artist International Group is more than just an entry into Hollywood; it’s a testament to the global appeal and versatility of MENA talents. As she continues to make waves across international waters, the entertainment world watches with keen interest. ???
