About



I really think music and movement - dance, you know - and literature inform my visuals. I think film is also based in dance. The relationship between me, the camera and the actor is always a dance.



Christopher Doyle "Paranoid Park" (2007), "Hero" (2002) and "2046" (2004)…


I born in France and grew up in Paris from a French mother and an Egyptian father. I have lived between Paris and Sicily which is the meeting point between my ancestors cultures.

Since 2021 I'm working as a Data Manager and DIT NEAR SET on long features and TV series in Rome (Italy). I come from martial arts, artistic gymnastic, comic books drawing and my first profession for 16 years have been dancing. I worked as a dancer for companies in France, Germany and Italy.

As a videomaker I worked for several dance companies for promotional contents.
As a filmmmaker I have been directing my own work together with the « QBR Collective » basing it on combining languages of dance with grammar of cinema.

I give several workshops for dance students about video and film dance beetween Italy and France.
