Amr Salama (Arabic: عمرو سلامة; born 22 November 1982) is an Egyptian film director, blogger, screenwriter, and author.

In 2009, Salama submitted the script for a second movie, Excuse My French, based on, by his own admission, his experiences at a public middle school in Egypt after his return from Saudi Arabia.

[3] Excuse My French tells the story of Hany Abdulla Sousa, a student at a private international school who comes from a Coptic family.

After the death of his father the family's socio-economic status drops and he is forced to go to a public school, where he is routinely confronted with episodes of bullying on the part of his classmates.

Rejected by the Censorship Board on the ground that "there is no sectarianism in Egypt,"[4] Salama started working on what would become his second creation, the AIDS-themed Asmaa, which earned him international attention.
