As far back as I can remember, the need to create and the thrill of artistic expression have always been present in my mind and heart.I began drawing comic books at the age of 9, producing hundreds of colored pages and stories that earned me several comic drawing awards as a child.I then discovered the early Disney animation methods, built my own “lightbox,” and began animating stories and scenes by hand in little flipbooks.My life's calling, "Cinema," became clear at the age of 12 when my father took me to watch "Troy" in theaters. The music, the colors, the quotes, the scale – they still give me goosebumps to this day. I instantly knew that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.After years of creating small homemade videos with my family and friends, editing them on primitive computers in our teenage rooms, I got my first break at the age of 15. I produced, co-wrote, and directed my first short film, "Bus No 20," with my friends Roberto Salem, Imad Creidi, Danny Bou-Maroun & Miled Chalfoun. The film earned us several international awards and critical acclaim from our peers and major news outlets. Imad Creidi, (Actor & Director), and I, then embarked, alongside five of our best friends (Elie Aoun, Christian Issa, Tony el Khoury, Elie Mghayar, & Composer Danny Bou-Maroun), on the biggest adventure of our lifetime: Filming and Co-Directing < King Johan > | the first Self-Funded Medieval Epic Movie, and arguably the longest film in continuous production : 13 long years in the making. Crafted with passionate lead actors “Julian Farhat, Lara Rain, Joseph Azoury, Makram Frem” and supported by an outstanding ensemble cast, alongside 600+ crew of volunteers, friends, sponsors, and industry mentors. Facing multiple national & personal setbacks in 2019, the film's distribution was delayed to this day, and I moved forward by creating my film & media company: @Giant Creatives, in order to continue my artistic work and support my friends and family in the process.I also tried my hand at comedy & YouTube, crafting a comedy channel: @Parodize, with amazing partners in Danny Bou-Maroun and famed YouTuber & marketer Alex Stifler.I am currently leading our company Giant Creatives into the exciting A.I boom, with the intention of pioneering the movie industry by using A.I video generation and emerging technologies. With a will to always Leap Forward, which is my company’s motto, I aim and hope to continue my lifelong journey into the realm of art and release "King Johan" to share its unique behind the scenes story with the world.
