Third Culture Kid. That is what I like to think of myself - a product of all of the cultures I've been exposed to. I was born in Doha, Qatar but grew up between Riyadh and Cannes before moving to London in 2000. I speak three languages (English, Arabic and French) and the underlying inspiration behind my work is that we are bound by our humanity.

Sometimes the most simple truths in this world are ignored because they are so obvious. I want to promote the cultural similarities of the human experience and condition through my films. I moved back to Qatar in 2009 when I heard about the new film industry, spearheaded by the Doha Film Institute. My life has changed ever since. I currently work in the Education department under Oscar-nominated filmmaker Scandar Copti, and I am honoured to have him as my mentor. He encourages me to develop my filmmaking skills everyday and as a result I have produced my first short film. It will premiere at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival this year and it is based on a true story.
