In 2008, Mohammed Alhamoud co-founded the Riyadh-based Talashi Film Collective, which was dedicated to making short films to screen in film festivals of neighboring countries a decade before cinemas opened in Saudi Arabia. Talashi produced numerous shorts, including Sunrise/Sunset (2009), which won both the Muhr Arab Special Mention and the FIPRESCI Prize awards at the Dubai International Film Festival in 2009. Mohammed obtained an MFA in film directing from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2013. He wrote, directed, and produced a few shorts including Shadow (2009), Anarosa Springs (2013), and most recently Ertidad (Goin South) (2019), which was selected for the International Competition of Clermont-Ferrand and many international film festivals. In 2017, Mohammed founded Last Scene Films, a Riyadh-based production house specialized in producing independent arthouse features, documentaries, and short films. Its debut feature Last Visit (2019) by Abdulmohsen Aldhabaan premiered at the East of the West Competition in the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and it was the Jury Award winner at the 2019 Marrakech IFF. He is currently developing Four Acts of Disruption, which won a Special Development grant from the Red Sea Film Festival in 2020, and most recently, he participated at the 2021 Rotterdam Lab and Cannes Producers Network. Mohammed's films deal with social, cultural, and intergenerational tensions, urban-rural divide, and collective national memory.
