  Founder and CEO of The Film House. The Film House is a Doha-based film, video, photography and multi-media production company unlike any other in the region. We have a talented team of experienced and creative storytellers, documentarians, animators, photographers, and film directors. Our services cover everything, from idea generation and script development, live-action filming, sound recording, editing, motion graphics and VFX, to finalizing projects with color grading, sound mixing and in-house CGI capabilities. We’re targeting diverse audiences on a variety of platforms. This includes social media outlets, televised advertising campaigns, cinema, film festivals, and even digital signage and public art installations. We’re not a traditional production company - we offer flexible production to facilitate a range of different requirements, mediums and budgets. With a wealth of local knowledge and Qatar’s community in mind, we’re primed to foster local talent and to redefine visual storytelling in the region. We’re a home for high-caliber international productions that want to come to town, and we want to place Qatar in the spotlight. Local production companies, who normally need to outsource equipment from around the world, are now able to source what they need directly from us, from beginning to end. At The Film House, we’re doing something new. We are raising the bar for the film production industry here in Qatar - technically and artistically. And, with a vision that rises above prescribed and tested methods, combines traditional values and a contemporary edge, we are limited only by our creative power. Show less

  • Mar 2010 - Nov 2012

  During my time at the Doha Film Institute, I was a member of a great team with a clear mission: share knowledge in an effort to develop, inspire and empower residents of Qatar to tell their own stories. Over the course of the 2+ years with DFI, my main responsibilities included mentoring filmmakers, leading international educational delegations, and producing world class workshops and programs in Qatar. I produced workshops and masterclasses with Elia Suleiman, Kevin Spacey, Jessica Alba, Sandi Sissel, Nitin Sawhney, Shekhar Kapur, Ziad Dourei, Scandar Copti, Sabine El Chamaa and Jackie Salloum. I also designed and taught over 20 workshops on short filmmaking, documentary filmmaking, music videos, and storytelling in several high schools, universities, and conferences. Show less
