Ibraheem Abbas

Ibraheem Abbas is that rare kind of creative who jumps between worlds—books, movies, and everything in-between—without missing a beat. He’s the co-founder of Yatakhayaloon, a group that’s been flipping the script on Arabian sci-fi, turning what used to be a niche into something everyone’s suddenly paying attention to. As Chief Creative Officer at Focus Worldwide Partners, he’s basically steering the ship when it comes to new storytelling. Dude’s not just talking the talk, either. He’s written four novels that didn’t just sell—they blew up, landing on bestseller lists and getting snapped up for translations in a bunch of languages. Now, Hollywood and streaming studios are circling his stories, turning them into feature films and series. So, his words are literally making the jump from page to screen. Screenwriting? Yeah, he’s got that covered too. Ever heard of Bilal? That animated feature had his fingerprints all over it. HWJN, which started as his own novel, is now a live-action film in the works. Then there’s K&A, a digital series that picked up awards and ran for five seasons—no small feat in today’s world of blink-and-you-miss-it content. And he’s not slowing down; there are more projects bubbling in the background. Honestly, if you’re into stories that twist reality and dig into new worlds, Abbas is a name you’ll want to remember. He’s changing the game, one universe at a time.
