Elements of biography

First steps

I recently met again my favorite and beloved teacher in primary school who was the first to give me a taste of the beauty of storytelling. She kept on developing the same fairy tale day after day until school year was over.
I had totally forgotten that I started writing my own tale at some point as a gift to her. 

She kept the story for a long time before it was eventually lost.
I keep wondering what it was about.

Studying cinema

Studying cinema can be very addictive as it never really ends. The tools you learn fast, but one life is not enough to unearth the multiple layers of film discovery. Who would you rather be? A new layer in film or a discoverer?

Radio interview with my friend Alan Mehanna on Radio Liban

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2661929987152585


In this week's episode of Creatively Speaking, host Alan Mehanna sits down with Lebanese Filmmaker Selim Mourad as the two discuss life and its relation to cinema, what inspired Selim to become the filmmaker he is today, and our relationship with the camera, capturing our memories, and sharing them with the world.
