Ahmed wrote the winningly whimsical screenplay for ALI, THE GOAT AND IBRAHIM, a buddy road movie that played at more than 30 film festivals around the world and was distributed internationally by Loco Films. More recently, Ahmed made his directing debut on his screenplay for KISS ME NOT, a film-within-a-film that satirizes the self-censorship in Egyptian cinema in a story about a popular starlet who suddenly decides to take the veil.
