I spent my formative years studying first Fine Arts in Italy and then obtaining a degree and masters in Neuroscience from the University of Manchester, England. I then came to filmmaking as a natural consequence of my interest in both art and the natural world. This unusual and diverse background means I feel comfortable with both the technical and aesthetic side of filming and photography, but also with the most rigorous and scientific attitude required in the research of wildlife documentaries. Having travelled extensively and witnessed first hand some of the destruction caused by human exploitation of the natural environment, I feel very strongly about environmental protection and use film as a medium to tell some of the most important and compelling stories about conservation. My most recent work (Trapped) is concerned with illegal bird trapping in Cyprus and has been selected and awarded at various festivals in Europe.

I currently work at the BBC World Service and BBC Arabic where I have produced and animated stories on topics ranging from male sex abuse in Iraq to the struggle of transgender people in Kuwait, which have gained more than a million of views on the BBC different platforms. I have a keen interest in investigations on human rights issues affecting communities from the Middle East. In 2017, I was the UK executive producer for the multiple-award-winning investigation the End User. It revealed how weapons were being used in the war in Yemen had been supplied by the UK and the US, among others, in an apparent abuse of international laws and trade agreements. The investigation found a huge success, with around three million views. The main producer and investigator Mohamed Aboelgheit had won the Fetisov Journalism Award first prize in the category "Outstanding Contribution to Peace" In the year of 2019, and had won the golden medal from the United Nations Correspondents Associations as well. In 2015, I was one of the first people who helped in establishing the Arabic version of the lead platform AJ. I recruited top talent to help produce videos which received the most views on the Arabic platforms. All stories have more than more than 1 million views/each. In November 2015 I moved to London for a different challenge, I worked as a promo producer for a leading Arabic-Tv, I was the main script writer for the promos, I’ve written nearly a 1000 scripts and my promos got around 20 millions views around different platforms. Back in 2012, while still in Egypt, I created a political campaign in my country that led to the victory of the first civilian president in the Egyptian history. My campaign called “Squeeze a lemon”, which is similar to the famous English idiom “with a pinch of salt” The campaign found huge success and was widely popular. A lot of people had captured themselves squeezing a lemon over their head after voting. Due to its popularity, the civil candidate had won over the opposing candidate and gained 13 million votes. In relation to the campaign, a new political term had been formed “The lemon squeezers”, and the press and media named the 7 million votes that the candidate got in the second round of elections with this name, the name I created.

“A story will help us make sense of anything” - Philip Pullman* Be it religion, philosophy, technology, or brand values, stories enable us to understand concepts in a way that stays with us. The key is not just knowing your message, but really knowing your audience. I’m an experienced short form Producer/Director working in Copenhagen, London and around the world. I work on projects from creative to delivery, and have covered several roles in the process.  Over the last few years I’ve worked for BBC, Great Big Story, CNN Commercial, LEGO, MarlowFilm, and The Film Agency to produce beautiful films that really engage the audience.  Having worked, hands on, at all stages of the production process, I am well used to dealing with agencies and production companies, as well as working for them. Through this experience I am also used to managing clients, industry service providers, and specialist freelancers, both at domestically and internationally. In all the work I do I deliver what’s desired, but push the boundaries wherever possible to ensure the tone and message established in the creative, or client vision is amplified. At the heart of all my projects, however, is a story; one that communicates what is desired by engaging meaningfully with the target audience. * From New Scientist, Rowan Hooper, 16th May 2020

I am a Camera operator/Editor and producer, based in Sydney and shooting globally. I have more than 12 years experience and own a Sony FS7, with full production kit. . Until recently, I was a camera operator, editor and producer for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Europe bureau, creating stories and films for Australia’s leading current affairs programmes. Working from the inception of a story to the finished product has given me an insight into how to ensure a quality product that will satisfy a client’s needs. I began my career in Australia as an ENG camera operator, an experience which provided me with the ability to react quickly and shoot quality content in challenging natural environments. Experience in high-end production has helped me develop a talent for the precise framing and lighting required by producers and directors for features and long-form interviews. Acting as a producer has come naturally to me. I provide easy-to-understand direction to talent to ensure they feel comfortable and to keep the shoot running efficiently. My editing skills ensure I shoot sequences that will allow for character development and creating ‘flow’ within a piece. As the industry has moved towards digital-only content, I have tailored much of my work to the online space. Digital projects I have created have been used in dozens of online publications. ​ I always strive for highest possible result with any project I undertake.

I am a skilled and confident media professional offering a very unique combination of technical and creative skills, which include management, production, post production, camera and film work and editing. I have worked in Media for over 25 years in various roles. These have included Lighting, Cameraman, Editor, News gathering and Satellite booking as well as being a Senior Director for live shows and News, Pre recorded programs and documentaries. I thrive under pressure and always meet deadlines. Throughout the last few years I have had the privilege of covering the Arab revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria. I was one of the first media professionals to enter Misruata when it was under siege and trained the locals to use a camera and satellite links. This meant that Aljazeera were then able to broadcast live every day from the area and I was indeed the first cameraman to film Qadafi's body that was then broadcast on Al Jazeera. I was able to go out to these areas of conflict and deal with the pressure Working under pressure and delivering is what I'm good at. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss the role and my career with you further. Sincerely yours, Ayman EL Halaby
