I worked as an assistant editor on The Soil and the Sea (2023, dir. Daniele Rugo), a documentary that explores the link between Lebanon’s missing people and the 100 mass graves scattered around the country since the civil war. I worked on finding witnesses and recording their testimonies, scouting locations, securing filming permits, and coordinating all aspects of production from videography, to sound recording, to music score. I also edited excerpts for the film’s online resources and helped build its pedagogical material. Since its release, I have been working on the film’s dissemination and impact, applying for festivals, scheduling screenings & discussions, contacting media outlets, and organizing activities with focus groups.

I’m currently working as an associate producer and assistant editor on the documentary We Never Left (dir. Loulwa Khoury) which follows Lebanese immigrants in New York as they navigate Lebanon’s uprising & collapse from abroad. I help with crowdsourcing footage of the protests, finding relevant archival and news footage of political events, tagging interviews, and I occasionally film some footage.

My first film Reverberations (which I directed and edited), premiered at the Beirut International Women Film Festival in March 2022. This short documentary essay explores the civil war’s impact on my family through an intimate mother-daughter portrait that unveils the politics of a country going through a painful reckoning with its cyclical history.
