Saudi producerMohammed Al-Turki is stepping down as CEO of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Foundation, the parent organization of Saudi’s top fest, which is the leading market in the region and a key driver in the kingdom’s ongoing efforts to build a film and TV industry.
Al-Turki, who remains on board as an adviser, will return to focusing on “personal projects and his career as an independent film producer and businessman,” a Red Sea foundation statement said.
While the selection of his successor is underway, Mohammed Asseri, who is a former Red Sea Film Foundation board member, will step in during the interim as the foundation’s acting CEO.
