About Us
Bukhash Brothers is a Dubai based creative production company built on the belief that authentic storytelling has the power to move people. Founded by Anas Bukhash, we
create content that connects — across cultures, languages, and generations. Our flagship production, #ABtalks, is one of the most-watched interview shows in the Arab world and a globally recognized platform for honest, unfiltered conversation. From world-class athletes and CEOs to artists, activists, and cultural icons, each episode goes beyond the surface, diving into the human stories, vulnerabilities, and defining moments that shape extraordinary people.
With tens of millions of views across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and a loyal audience that spans the globe, #ABtalks has grown from a passion project into a cultural force. Every episode we produce is crafted with intention — from the questions asked to the way the story is told in edit.
Joining the Bukhash Brothers team means becoming part of a small, driven, and deeply creative group that cares as much about how a story is told as what the story is. We move fast, hold high standards, and believe that the best content comes from people who are genuinely passionate about
their craft.
This is a 3-month unpaid internship designed to give emerging creatives real-world experience on a high-profile production. If you're looking for an internship where your work will actually be seen — and felt — this is it.
