Eslam Baraka

Eslam Baraka’s filmography is honestly all over the map, in the best way possible. You look at “One Way Ticket” (2025), and it’s not your typical paint-by-numbers journey flick. Nope. There’s this underlying tension buzzing through every scene, like something’s about to go sideways. It’s about a guy who takes a risk—maybe not the smartest one, but hey, who hasn’t? The story winds through some seriously dicey choices, leaving you wondering if redemption is even on the table or if he’s just spiraling further down. It’s raw, messy, and weirdly relatable if you’ve ever tried to outrun your own mistakes. Then there’s “Chasing the Wind” (2025), which, let’s be real, is way more than a catchy title. Eslam dives straight into the chaos of ambition. The characters are hungry—they want out, they want more, they want it now. But chasing dreams in his world? It costs. You get backstabbing, heartbreak, and a couple of moments that genuinely sting. The film doesn’t spoon-feed answers; instead, it throws you into the uncertainty right alongside its cast. Oh, and don’t sleep on “The Night Agent” (2023). This one’s got that late-night paranoia energy, where every shadow looks like trouble and nobody’s motives are clear. Eslam’s style here is sharp, almost jittery, with plot twists that actually catch you off guard. He’s not afraid to leave you hanging or second-guessing what you just watched. Altogether, his movies? They’re gritty, unpredictable, and full of that restless energy you can’t quite shake.
