‘FemaleShow’, a romantic comedy focusing on one couple’s
path from dating to marriage and told from the woman’s point of view, has
become the most popular web show in Jordan, attracting 25 million viewers. In
one of Shomali’s most famous routines, she urges Jordanian women to stand up to
verbal harassment on the street.

When Shomali graduated from high school, with no specialised
courses to follow her passion, she studied a degree in business administration,
all the while continuing to write her own show. She started taking extensive
filmmaking workshops, until she produced and directed her first short movie,
which helped her to apply to The Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts where she
graduated with a Master of Arts in writing and producing.

Her first online work was a show called Bath Bayakha, which
she wrote and starred in back in 2011, eventually leading to the ‘FemaleShow’.

Since then she has produced the TV series ‘Zain’ and worked
as a supervising producer on ‘Nida’A Show’, a talk show aimed at Arab women.
