Michael Fawzy
Sound Designer & Audio Producer
Sound Beyond the Frame
I'm Michael Fawzy, an Egyptian Sound Designer and Audio Producer with nearly two decades of experience in sound design, audio engineering, and post-production for film, television, and advertising.
My journey in audio began in 2007, and over the years, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of fiction films, documentaries, and commercial productions, collaborating with filmmakers and creative teams in Egypt and internationally.
In 2010, I co-founded the audio department at Figleaf Studios. Alongside my work there, I served as a Sound Engineer at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Television Studio from 2016 to 2023, and in 2025, I joined Peace Cake as an Audio Producer.
My work has been part of internationally recognized films presented at major festivals, including Cannes, Locarno, Toronto, Sundance, and IDFA. I also completed Berklee Online's Audio Post-Production for Film and TV program in 2020, graduating with highest honors.
Beyond my commercial and professional projects, supporting independent cinema has always been an important part of my work. I collaborate with independent filmmakers and emerging talents, offering creative and technical support to help bring their stories to life. I believe that limited resources should never stand in the way of strong storytelling, and I'm committed to helping independent films achieve the sound quality and creative attention they deserve.
