We are standing at a global crossroads. Technological advances are hurtling us out of the world we knew and into a future that nobody can predict. These changes are felt everywhere, but nowhere are they more visible than in the rapidly shifting entertainment business. Every Friday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, Dr. David Tully (Associate Professor and the Head of Media Department at Middlesex University Dubai) and Deema Maghalseh (Senior Lecturer in Film & Media at Middlesex University Dubai) welcome a new guest from across the global entertainment industry. From the unique vantage point of the UAE, they discuss entertainment business news, trends, and disruptions defining the future of film and television. Join us every Friday at the Crossroads.

From oil rigs to Oscar-contending cinema, Ammar reflects on how technical thinking, risk assessment, and professional discipline translate into creative industries — and what filmmakers today need to understand about navigating film as both an art form and an industry/ career.
