I was born in Lebanon in 1988. I graduated from ALBA University in 2012 with a master degree in cinema directing. Since 2008, I have been working as a director, editor, D.O.P and sound recordist on several documentaries for Tv and Cinema.
In 2016, I shot the feature documentary “Counting tiles” directed by Cynthia Choucair that premiered at the Rotterdam film festival in 2018 and that have competed in many other festivals.
My filmography includes short documentaries “Pas de ports pour les petits bateaux” that won the tanit d’argent in the Carthage film festival (JCC) - 2017 and best international short documentary in Cinéma sous les étoiles, Canada – 2019. Also two shorts experimental 8 mm “Did you see the woman?” that was screened during les Rencontres du Cinéma Documentaire - Peripherie Montreuil – 2018 and “Aller-retour” that won the second prize at Regard Indépendant festival in Nice – 2019.
In 2018, I moved to Paris and I completed my second master’s degree in documentary filmmaking at Paris 7 Diderot (DEMC).
I am currently working on my first feature documentary “Purple district” and two feature documentaries as a sound recordist “We are inside” by Farah Kassem (Lebanon) and “You don’t die two times” by Ager Oueslati (Niger/France).
