My growing insterest for both technical and artistic aspects of compositing makes me want to join productions to help making perfect pixels.

Cinema is a powerful communication tool that can bring people together and change lives. I am born and raised in Lebanon and at 18, moved to France to make a living out of what I am passionate about : writing, creating and directing films. I specialized in Lighting/Compositing at ESMA Lyon, and this is when I realized that I enjoy taking part in the creative journey of producing images filled with stories.
