Born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1981, El Assal grew up in Dubai, London and Luxembourg, settling down in the latter city where he set up his production company, Bigtime Entertainments. After making over 60 music videos and mini-documentaries, El Assal shot two "no-budget" features and utilized his guerilla filmmaking skills to write and direct the short "Mano de Dios."
