Filmmaker & Visual Storyteller

a filmmaker based in Libya, with a passion for crafting short documentaries and commercials that blend honest storytelling with striking visuals.

My work combines creative writing, directing, and cinematography to bring out the emotional core of every project, whether it’s a local campaign or an international commercial.

Over the past five years, I’ve taken on many roles in the production process from directing and DOP work to production management gaining a well-rounded, hands-on perspective that shapes how I approach each film. I work with Geet Productions, the leading production company in Libya, where I’ve collaborated on campaigns for major local clients as well as international brands like Balconi and Oldenburger.

While I’ve studied video production at Toronto Film School, it’s the on the ground experience working with crews, shaping concepts, and building visuals—that has defined my voice as a filmmaker. My work has been recognized at some festivals including Ciclope, Muse Awards, Canex, and the Toronto Film School Festival, earning awards for both narrative and experimental pieces.

For me, storytelling is about more than just visuals—it’s about creating something that resonates, connects, and lasts.
