Masri grew up in Beirut and studied film at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University. She is the co-founder of Nour Productions and is also known for directing and producing several documentaries that have broadcast on more than 100 television stations worldwide. Her work is known for highlighting the issues of marginalized groups with a focus on “the humanity and resilience of ordinary people living through turbulent and extraordinary times.” 3000 Nights is her first feature film. In an interview with IndieWire, Masri stated that one of her challenges with this film was to create a piece that was true to the reality of women prisoners but also poetic and aesthetic. She hopes that audiences feel “touched and inspired by the story and feel the humanity and resilience of these women.”
