Reem Morsi
Reem Morsi is an Egyptian-Canadian film director and screenwriter based in Toronto, Ontario. She is best known for her 2022 film The Last Mark.[1]
She began her filmmaking career in the early 2010s with a number of short films, winning awards at the 2017 Yorkton Film Festival for her shorts The Door and Show and Tell.[2] She concluded production in 2019 on her feature debut Hysteria,[3] although its release was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the film has never seen wide distribution.

She followed up in 2023 with Queen Tut.[6]
