a 22-year-old filmmaker passionate about storytelling. Graduating in 2022/2023 after studying design at Birzeit University, she has always been drawn to films and videos. Her background includes crafting videos, even trying my hand at stop-motion animation videos . Now, as a recent graduate, she has taken the leap into film directing.
