JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - DECEMBER 6: (INTERVIEW) Writer Mohamed Hassan talks about comedy being instinctive to a New Zealander, how it's embedded in their culture, how he comes from Egypt and how they're a country of class clowns, but as Muslims living in a western environment there's been plenty of dark things happening that's put pressure on those communities, whether it's surveillance or the public perception of the war on terror, how under this pressure people have released the tension with humour and comedy and how that's the tone they wanted at the "Miles From Nowhere" press junket during the Red Sea International Film Festival 2023 on December 6, 2023 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
