John Directs, Writes and Produces a Major Film About the Creation of Qiddiya

On 8 September 2018 I was fortunate to attend the premiere of Mark Deeble and Vicky Stone’s The Elephant Queen at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In conjunction with GTV based in Dubai, John directed, wrote and produced a major film about the creation of Qiddiya, a “smart city” under construction in the desert of Saudi Arabia. “Smart” not only designates the Kingdom’s commitment to renewables and the preservation of natural resources, but its promise to empower new generations of Saudis through sports, arts, performance and wellness.
