Samer Arzouni

As a Media and TV executive with over 15 years of experience in Film & TV, Channel Management, and Production, I have honed strong leadership skills while managing teams for international networks like National Geographic Channels and startups like Spotlife Film Productions. I am passionate about nurturing talent and delivering excellence in every project.

My extensive experience as a director, producer, and story editor spans a variety of film genres, from documentaries to commercials and narrative-based works. I have directed 25+ films, served as executive producer on over 150 films (long and short form), worked as a creative director for over 7 years, and edited 10+ films.

I am also the recipient of numerous awards for my work, including a Cannes Lions Silver for TV and Media, a Leories Gold for MENA and Africa (Grand Prix), a Gold Broadcast Pro MENA, and a Gold Digital Studios MENA. In addition, I was named one of the top ten Arab directors in the MENA region across all genres by the B&W Report in 2016.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with participants and helping them to hone their skills in film.
