Our world needs more thinkers, dreamers, change-makers, and action makers. The famous Egyptian Youtuber Hesham Afifi is more than just a musician or a content creator, he told us all about his big plans that we believe he will attain one day.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI always study people who succeed in anything, and simple people who live happy with a few things.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tell us about yourself.
\n<\/em><\/strong>I’m Hesham Afifi, Commercial Director, and Content creator.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Which lesson has been the hardest to learn?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think living, or most probably communicating with people.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Who\/What is your biggest inspiration?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always study people who succeed in anything, and simple people who live happy with a few things. I get inspired every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>How would you describe yourself?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Complicated simple person.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>What’s the best advice that was given to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“You have to work”, believe it or not.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>What would we be surprised to know about you? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know you would be surprised by this or not, but I have a very deep dark phase that I rarely share with people, because I care to keep people off my darkness or their darkness.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Do you consider yourself a Musician, a Director, a Youtuber, or a Content Creator? Which one you prefer and love the most?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely content creator.<\/em><\/p>\n

You are mockingly analyzing ads and songs, aren\u2019t you concerned about the feedback of the artists behind that specific work you are mocking?
\n<\/em><\/strong>I do my best by writing a script that usually takes 3 days or more of constant work, and neatly pick every joke to be less annoying to anyone as much as I can. However, most of the time I mock the “idea” of the work itself more than the person’s work, and I do my best to make it light as much as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Have you ever received offers from any TV channels?
\n<\/em><\/strong>A lot, but I don’t think that I’m a TV guy, because I love creating without limits <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Your online program \u2018El Fakra Al Saba7eya Al Gamela\u2019 has widely spread all over the social media platforms, do you wish to present the content of the program on TV? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I doubt\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Do you have any upcoming projects or ads to be displayed in Ramadan?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To be honest I’m focusing now on Directing Commercials more than creation.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>What is your dream project?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Making my feature films in Hollywood. <\/em><\/p>\n

Fun Qs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Your happy place?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Where people around me are happy and laughing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your greatest fear?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not doing enough.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your teen crush?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were millions, I don’t even remember them.<\/em><\/p>\n

When did you last tell a lie?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now.<\/em><\/p>\n

What food most sums up happiness?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fteera sogo2 edafa gebna <\/em>J<\/em> (Sausage pie with extra cheese).<\/em><\/p>\n

Who or what is your greatest love?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My Mom<\/em><\/p>\n

What is on your bucket list?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Directing commercials outside Egypt.<\/em><\/p>\n

What’s next? Short and long-term?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Filmmaking – Filmmaking.<\/em><\/p>\n
