Shooting has been completed on One String (Watar Wahid), the Egyptian film produced by Ali El Araby and featuring Asser Yassin and Wegz.
The shoot is complete, and the film is moving into the next stages, including editing and sound mixing, according to news Youm7 released on 15 October. It will be released in cinemas "in the coming period", without a specific date or distribution details. No producer is named in the report.
The film's Arabic title is One String. Other stars alongside Yassin and Wegz are Tara Emad and Mayan El Sayed.
Asser Yassin has a busy schedule. He just finished filming his part in The Death Squad (Firqat al-Mawt), an action thriller set in the 1940s, with Ahmed Ezz as the lead. Moreover, the Cairo International Film Festival has announced that it will honour him at its 2026 edition, the festival's 50th year.
Now that shooting is done and there's no distributor on board, One String is one to watch for those seeking regional theatrical distribution opportunities or Arabic-speaking media looking to add Egyptian films to their catalogues. No plot information is available yet, and no details on the film's running time or budget have been provided.
What should we look out for? A distribution partner, release date and marketing material.
