Hi, I’m Marc Noujaim, a filmmaker, drone operator, and editor with a love for visually driven storytelling. Over the past decade I’ve directed corporate films for luxury brands, captured aerials for campaigns, and steered documentary projects from Paris to the Middle East, always focusing on clear narrative and on-brand visuals. My work has taken me from Paris studios to the deserts of Morocco and the coasts of Saudi Arabia, collaborating with teams of 10–20 people, using Sony FX9, Canon 5D, and DJI drones, and delivering polished pre- and postproduction across formats. I value collaboration, practical problem-solving on location, and creating work that resonates with audiences.
