films

Since 2017, I have written and directed a range of short films across various genres.
I recently completed my first feature-length non-fiction film, which is set to premiere at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in Fall 2025.

My short films have been selected by renowned international festivals, including the Tampere Film Festival, Beirut Shorts International Film Festival, among others — with one film even shortlisted for a BAFTA award.

I strive for my movies to feel like a poem—a journey. I’m not into the whole “What’s the message in your movie?” thing. I’m a storyteller—not God.
I'd rather evoke emotions and questions that make you doubt what you think you know. ​


I focus on stories about women from misrepresented communities, artists living on the edge, my beautiful home country Lebanon, and lost souls who are equally hateable and lovable… just like me.

In addition to my own work, I have also worked as an Assistant Director and Production Manager in both Lebanon and Canada.
