WHY YOU NEVER BECAME A MOTHER


Feature film – Horror / Psychological Drama

Written by Mouad Ezzahir


A soft-lit queer love story that dissolves into full-blown body horror, Why You Never Became a Mother follows Lexi, a drama teacher whose maternal longing spirals into obsession. As her connection with Dana deepens, so does a surreal, monstrous transformation — one that redefines motherhood as something visceral, cosmic, and deeply unsettling.


Why You Never Became a Mother explores how trauma nests inside the body, how community can turn into cult, and how motherhood (in its rawest form) can be both monstrous and holy.

Themes:
Obsessive motherhood, queer longing, female monstrosity, body horror, delusion as devotion


HUSH  (Short Play)


Psychological drama – Stage

Written by Mouad Ezzahir


Set in a cold, sunlit apartment washed in Scandinavian minimalism, Hush explores paranoia, creative betrayal, and the haunting aftermath of not listening. When a tense artistic disagreement between two close friends escalates, silence becomes fatal. One of them takes his life mid-sentence, the other is left to decode the words he failed to hear, spiraling into obsession, guilt, and a final violent unraveling.

A quiet, brutal play about miscommunication, grief, and how art consumes the people who make it.


Themes:
Mental illness, artistic ego, grief, miscommunication, paranoia, guilt, silence as violence


FULL STOMACH
(COMPLETED)


Short film - Psychological horror /Dark comedy

Written by Mouad Ezzahir


Lola and Elle are two design students whose friendship slowly deepens into intimacy. When Elle invites Lola home for dinner, things shift. The apartment is warm, her mother is kind, and Elle is charming. But in the basement, something waits. Something on all fours. Something Elle calls family.

Full Stomach is a horror short about obedience, girlhood, and the moment intimacy tips into violence. It starts with softness, ends in blood, and lingers in your throat like a swallowed secret.

Themes
Dark domesticity, generational trauma, control and submission, predator-as-pet, queer intimacy, trust and betrayal, horror in routine

Short film - Psychological horror /Found footage

Written by Mouad Ezzahir

Told entirely through the cold, glitchy eye of CCTV and webcam footage, 000-733-3666 follows Daniel, a suicide hotline operator whose gentle voice hides darker intentions. When 14-year-old Alex calls in, a tense exchange unfolds,what begins as support quickly becomes manipulation, as Daniel’s true identity and motives come into focus.

A slow-burn horror grounded in the mundanity of tech interfaces, grooming patterns, and the terrifying intimacy of being listened to. By the time the line goes dead, the damage is irreversible.

Themes
Predation, parasocial dynamics, obsession, surveillance horror, grooming, queerness and power, performance of care, internet-age intimacy


A ROOM FOR TWO


Feature film – Horror / Psychological Drama

Written by Mouad Ezzahir



When Leo reconnects with his estranged younger brother Dani after over a decade apart, the meeting feels awkward but hopeful. In the cramped stillness of Dani’s Paris apartment, old memories surface—and so do old lies.

As the brothers navigate their fractured bond, a darker truth begins to emerge: Dani wasn’t sent away to be healed, but to be protected. And Leo’s return isn’t about forgiveness—it’s about control.

Themes:
Repressed trauma · Familial betrayal · Obsession and denial · Mental health and manipulation · The claustrophobia of memory
