I love telling stories. At its simplest I am a filmmaker. I direct films. I produce films. I edit films. But nothing is so straightforward - I’ve been an Executive Producer, a Runner, Production Assistant, “Preditor”, Head of Film and Creative Director. I’ve worked in independent production, direct with brand and closely with marketing agencies. With a nice 12 year stint in broadcast for some of the biggest names in the industry (BBC, ESPN, Al Jazeera). I have a proven track record of helping shape brand perception with stories that connect and engage with audiences. Specialising in directing short form promos, TVC’s and social media films, I also have good experience in short films as well as on longer form documentaries and brand / corporate films. Along the way I’ve been honoured to have my work recognised by Raindance Film Festival, New York Film Festival, PROMAX BDA and Red Dot – winning over 30 awards for my short form work. I love the story telling process and telling stories that communicate the right message to the right audience. If you would like my advice on any project I am now actively for hire to work. I am based between Amsterdam and London and have a remote on-line edit suite set up for any post production work you may need.

I'm a young motivated journalist with a rich knowledge in Middle East foreign affairs. Passionate storyteller with a talent for delivering attention-grabbing, high-quality news reports and human stories. I want to tell more stories from the inside of Arab communities in the Middle East. My background and language skills open a lot of doors which stay closed for a lot of western journalists. I am fluent in Arabic, Dutch and English. I'm currently working for one of the leading Dutch quality papers called ‘de Volkskrant’. My job is to tell our Dutch readers/viewers about the current situation and the ongoing troubles in the Middle East, framed in a way that it fits the Dutch view. My stories have mainly been exclusive stories about the Syrian conflict, the refugee crisis, the marginalised and minority communities in the Middle East. One of my stories got nominated for 'de Tegel', the most important award for journalism in the Netherlands. This story on human trafficking networks in the Turkish city of Izmir was very important for me to work on. It showed the way traffickers work and gave us insight into the dark-side of these shady networks. I've also published an award-winning story on Syrian refugee child workers in Dutch daily quality newspaper 'de Volkskrant'. The footages I shot and produced were broadcasted by the BBC ten o’clock news. With experience in investigative (video) journalism, my online-media savviness and my passion of telling the stories of the marginalised voices, I am confident I will be an asset to your team and channel.
