About Sue Obeidi

Sue Obeidi, Senior Vice President of the MPAC® Hollywood Bureau, leads efforts to promote accurate and nuanced portrayals of Muslims and Islam in film and television.

The MPAC® Hollywood Bureau founded The Muslim House® at the Sundance and SXSW Film Festivals, where authentic and honest conversations about representation are front and center.
