Arab News spoke with Khalid, who joked about the literal and metaphorical Mary Poppins-like bag she always carries. In real life, she hauls cameras and “other things” everywhere.
Her dedication to her craft has paid off — Khalid's seven-minute fantasy-drama-comedy animation, “Business Bag,” will be screened at the Red Sea International Film Festival in her home country.
A 2025 graduate of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh with a degree in film and animation, she is passionate about crafting Saudi-centric stories that explore universal social themes through animation.
