Hi all, I am a writer/director from Lebanon, currently living in the US. I have made a few shorts, and my feature MARTYR is in distribution in many regions around the world including here in North America. It premiered Internationally at Venice IFF where it was nominated for the Queer Lion award. Here in the US, it premiered at SXSW and theatrically in LA and NY. It’s received many reviews including in the NY Times and LA Times. MARTYR is a little on the experimental side but my current writing is wider appeal. After Venice, I moved here to the US and went for an MFA in screenwriting to hone my writing skills. I graduated a few months ago and I’m very excited about starting to work in the US motion picture industry. I am looking for management and representation and would love to hear about any leads or advice you all may have for me.
