About

Hi, I’m Jehad—Doha-based filmmaker and production professional with a strong background in pre-production, coordination, and creative collaboration across departments. I’ve grown by building production plans, coordinating location permits, and shaping shoot schedules, all while keeping a friendly, proactive approach on set and in meetings with multiple teams.

Over the years I’ve contributed to short and feature projects through roles such as writer-director, cinematographer, and assistant director, working with Katara Studios, Doha Film Institute, and Northwestern University-affiliated projects. I’m excited to continue developing dynamic stories from the Middle East to international audiences, with a passion for collaborative storytelling and hands-on problem-solving on set.
