- Professions: Producer, Actor
Tarek Fayoumi’s name keeps popping up for a reason—he’s been making waves with projects like Isleen Pines (2024), Hacked 2 (2022), and ShadowMarsh (2022). Isleen Pines, for starters, isn’t your run-of-the-mill thriller. It pulls you in with this odd, almost haunting small-town energy. Secrets swirl everywhere, and you can feel something’s seriously off beneath the calm surface. The story centers on a group of people tangled up in their own messes, all while something sinister creeps in. It’s one of those films where you start second-guessing everyone’s motives—nobody feels safe, and the tension just keeps ratcheting up. Then there’s Hacked 2, which doesn’t hold back with its tech-driven paranoia. It’s got that frantic pace, with characters scrambling to stay a step ahead of whoever (or whatever) is out to get them. Fayoumi doesn’t sugarcoat the dangers of our digital world—he really digs into how personal privacy is basically a joke nowadays. The stakes are high, and trust? Basically nonexistent. ShadowMarsh takes a different route, leaning into horror with a supernatural twist. The marsh itself almost becomes a character, heavy with atmosphere and dread. You’re watching people unravel as old legends and dark forces claw their way into reality. Fayoumi’s style is all about mood—shadows, whispers, the stuff that gets under your skin. If you’re into stories where the environment feels alive, this one delivers. So, looking at Fayoumi’s recent run, you get a sense of his knack for suspense, layered characters, and a vibe that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
Back in 2016, someone scored an internship at the Cannes Film Festival with the American Pavilion—which, honestly, is kind of a big deal if you’re into movies or, well, just want to rub elbows with the film crowd. The American Pavilion is pretty much the unofficial hangout for all the U.S. industry folks—producers, actors, filmmakers, the whole shebang. Interning there isn’t just about fetching coffee (though, let’s be real, there’s probably a lot of that). It’s a front-row seat to the glitz, the chaos, and all the behind-the-scenes drama that comes with one of the world’s most famous film festivals. You’re networking, you’re sneaking into screenings, maybe even dropping popcorn on someone famous (oops). For anyone dreaming of Hollywood or just obsessed with cinema, gigs like this are pure gold—hands-on, hectic, and never boring.
