My Story

I was born in Tetouan, a quiet city that hides more stories than it tells.
As a kid, I didn’t have fancy cameras or studios, just curiosity, a cheap device, and the feeling that images could speak louder than anything I said out loud.

I grew up chasing light, shadows, and moments. And little by little, filmmaking became more than a passion, it became my way of understanding the world.

For more than a decade, I shaped my craft as a video editor, VFX artist, filmmaker, and storyteller. I learned that stories aren’t just told with cameras or software, they’re told with patience, with emotion, with the tiny details that most people ignore. Whether it’s a 4-second shot or a full narrative, I’ve always believed that the small things make the biggest difference.

I’ve collaborated with brands, creators, and studios across Morocco and beyond.
I’ve directed, shot, edited, composited, experimented… and failed many times,  but every failure sharpened my vision.

Today, my work is driven by one mission:
To prove that passion, authenticity, and imagination can build worlds.
To inspire young creators the way cinema once inspired me.

I’m still learning.
Still growing.
Still chasing the next frame, the one that says everything without saying a word.

This is my story.
And it’s only the beginning.
