I joined Qatar’s foremost independent production company and was made creative director a short time after. From directing huge multi-camera shoots (using Phantoms, helicopters, Cineflex, car-mounted time-lapse rigs, and underwater photography) to intimately-shot portraits of the local culture, I applied my creativity to a wide variety of high-profile programming.
