A Lebanese filmmaker 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 love telling real stories about real people, usually unfolding in real time.
I also specialise in setting up documentary and unscripted shoots.

Beirut By Night (2019)
Video Piece: Night portrait of Beirut around October 2019, during the Lebanese protests. Thousands flooded the streets, the city fueled with energy and collective memory. On a motorbike, my younger brother Ghayath at the helm, weaving through the pulse of a restless night.
Sugarcoat (2018) مش معمول
Souha, a single mother, receives guests at her house in celebration of the Adha holiday. Before long, things take a sour turn as Souha juggles between her teenage daughter and her demanding guests.
