<p>I am a Canadian-born filmmaker with Lebanese roots now living in Ramallah. My directorial debut short, Ghetto Town premiered at the 2009 Jerusalem International Film Festival and has been shown at film festivals round the world. I've produced and directed films for international organisations such as UNRWA, Defence for Children International and the British Consulate. I co-founded SocDoc Studios to continue to produce films with a focus on social issues and have been following Palestine's Speed Sisters racing team for the past three years working on a feature-length documentary. </p>
