I'm a videographer and filmmaker specialized in conflict, humanitarian and news stories, looking to move into commercials as marketing, and advertsing videos, along with independent and feature films. I based in Toronto. I started my career in the Middle East as a war correspondent (Reuters, Al Jazeera Arabic, Vice News) and transitioned into video work for humanitarian agencies (WHO, UNFPA, Syrian American Medical Society) and daily news (AP). I completed an MA in Filmmaking at the University of East London in 2021. I work as a freelance videographer, editor and/or director. I have made two films: my first, for Vice News in 2015, was a finalist for the Prix Bayeux, and my second, for Al Jazeera English in 2017, won Best Current Affairs Programme award at the 2018 Asian Film and Television Awards.
