Film Producer and Production Manager across MENA commercials and festivals; managed logistics for 40+ campaigns.

I managed production logistics for 40+ commercial campaigns across the MENA region, coordinating crews, advertising agencies, production houses, and clients across Lebanon, KSA, UAE, Iraq, and Egypt. Recent projects included ZAIN Telecom Ramadan and OMT x VISA World Cup.

From 2019 to 2022, I produced and managed logistics for 50+ short films across Lebanon, overseeing budgets, crewing, schedules, and on-set operations from pre-production through delivery. Several projects were international award winners, including SEE YOU SOON and BULLETPROOF BIRD.

At MDLBEAST SOUNDSTORM, I managed media operations for a 450+ crew team at a festival drawing 300,000+ attendees. I built and operated on-site media centers and coordinated accreditation, broadcast logistics, and crew scheduling.

I also managed media operations for MDLBEAST 1001 and MDLBEAST BALAD, and production and event logistics for The Lebanese Movie Awards. My work spans film production, live events, media operations, and broadcast coordination.
