Reviving Mosul Campaign
Creative and editorial direction of a film celebrating Mosul's reconstruction through the lens of its young entrepreneurs.
Role: Creative Director & Producer (The Station Foundation)
The Station Mosul branch needed a film that didn't lean on war imagery or rebuild clichés. The brief was simple: show Mosul today, not as a story of damage, but as a city being authored by the people who stayed.
We anchored the film in the founders themselves, cafes, studios, small shops opened by young Moslawis after 2017. The voiceover stayed quiet on purpose. The city had been talked about enough; this time it would be watched.
I directed and produced the film end-to-end, concept, scripting, casting, shoot direction, post.
The result: A piece used by Station partners and international visitors as the visual answer to 'What is Mosul like now?'.
