About me

I'm a BAFTA nominated British‑Lebanese filmmaker and animator working between London and the Middle East. I grew up between France and Lebanon and trained in the UK . My films blend live action and hand‑drawn/rotoscoped animation to tell intimate stories about parent–child relationships, memory, mental health and migration. My practice is collaborative: I frequently work with performers, choreographers and composers to build layered, emotionally driven worlds.

My industry work includes leading animated projects for the BBC World Service and Manchester International Festival. I’ve also worked on the internationally touring production of The Jungle Book by the Akram Khan Company. My films have been recognised with accolades such as a BAFTA nomination for Best Animated Short, a Vimeo Staff Pick, and screenings at major festivals including: Seattle International Film Festival, the BFI film festival, Encounters SFF and Aesthetica.

I treat animation as a language for memory and feeling as it lets me hold realism and metaphor in the same frame. I often start from personal histories or oral testimony and translate small details into visual motifs that recur across a film. My goal is to create work that feels rooted, humane and cinematic.

I enjoy making work that keeps questions at the centre: what do we inherit from the people around us? What gets spoken about and what remains in silence? How can movement and drawn line reveal interior life?

Over the years, my method has mainly revolved around listening to stories, to displacement, to music, and to the traces of memory we carry with us.
