My 2 a.m. ideas, for producers with a TASTE for RISK.

NOOR

The AI who talks like us

Series · Dramedy · Sci-Fi · Satire · 10 × 45’· Modern Lebanese Arabic

A young woman stands in the middle of a busy city street at sunset, holding a phone, with two people on each side taking photos of her. The street is lined with parked cars, motorcycles, and buildings with neon signs.

Noor is the Arab world’s first AI star, a zero filter digital woman born in Beirut, not Silicon Valley. When a burned out designer accidentally turns her into his always on muse, she starts “optimising” his love life, his career and, slowly, the way people live in Lebanon.

Fast, funny and very Lebanese, built from day one as both a character driven series and a cross-platform IP that can live on TV, socials and specials.

CONNEXION DIVINE

When a prayer is answered by an algorithm

Short film · Drama with dark humor · 10 to 12’ · French & Lebanese Arabic

A nun in a brown habit and white head covering standing inside a church with candlelight and stone walls.

In a silent Lebanese convent, a young nun begs God for a sign, and a forgotten smart speaker answers.

The calm “voice” becomes her secret confessor, blurring the line between faith, loneliness and technology in a contained, high impact story built for festivals and cinephile streamers.
