A Lebanese filmmaker and producer with experience working across the Middle East and London.
As an independent filmmaker, I have created narrative short films that have received international recognition, with screenings at Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying festivals.
I also specialise in setting up documentary and unscripted shoots.
Projects
- Sugarcoat (2018)Sugarcoat is my first narrative short film, a drama that won Best Capstone Project and was accepted into the Lebanese Film Festival. It later received a nomination for Best Short Comedy at NewFilmmakers LA. Synopsis: Souha, a single mother, hosts guests at her home to celebrate the Adha holiday. However, things quickly take a sour turn as she struggles to balance the needs of her demanding guests with those of her teenage daughter.
- Lower Ground (2023)Lower Ground is a narrative short film written and directed by me, selected for several Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying festivals, and winner of Best Cinematography in Lebanon and Best Editing in Madrid. Synopsis: A janitor and his nephew live in the basement of the building he maintains, setting the stage for an atmospheric and intense drama that explores the stark contrasts between the haves and the have-nots.
