The last of these gained him international prominence and earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

In Heart of Ma'at: An Anubis Odyssey, we follow the journey of Nefertari, a recently deceased soul who finds herself navigating the perilous realm of the Egyptian afterlife. Guided by the enigmatic Anubis, Nefertari must overcome a series of trials and challenges as she seeks to prove her worthiness for eternal paradise. As Nefertari travels through the underworld, she encounters a diverse array of mythical creatures, gods, and spirits, each posing their own tests and temptations. Along the way, she forms unlikely alliances with fellow souls and learns valuable lessons about courage, integrity, and the true nature of the human heart. But the ultimate test awaits Nefertari at the Hall of Ma'at, where her heart will be weighed against the feather of truth. As she stands before the judgment of the gods, Nefertari must confront the choices she made in life and prove that her heart is pure enough to enter the afterlife.
