Our newest addition

Written by Zachai Kalet-Schwartz

This is Alaa who joined us last week. He moved here from Egypt about a year ago and has become our go to Arabic translator. We’re really grateful to have someone doing this because there are so many incredible moments we have with our Arabic speaking characters that we’re sure we would love to use but we just have no idea what they’re saying. So we appreciate Alaa for that. But also, he’s just easy to work with. Funny, watches Frederick Wiseman, enjoys long walks to the kitchen upstairs… etc.

Glad to have you on the team.
