About The Book of Sun
In 2010, at the peak of the Saudi YouTube movement, high school senior Husam finds himself drawn into the world of video production. He’s joined in his pursuit by his best friend Maan, their one-time foe Ibrahim, and Orabi a teacher with a passion for filmmaking. In the middle of their senior year, they set out to produce a no-budget horror movie – a wild adventure that will put their futures at risk.
Directed by Faris Godus, The Book of Sun leans on a strong ensemble — Baraa Alem, Sohayb Godus, Nadia Malaika — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
