MY ROLES: VOLUNTEER EDITOR
SYRIAN DOCTOR
This project is ongoing.
"Syrian Doctor" explores the tragedy of the decade long Syrian refugee crisis, and follows doctors volunteering with SAMS (Syrian American Medical Society).
​
This film grapples with the mental trauma of the "lost" generation of Syrian children, and the struggles of both citizens and the volunteers.
ZERO (2019)
“Zero” explores how students, parents, and coaches handle defeat. The Central High School boys’ basketball team has not won a game in two years. This is a story of defeat and how players and coaches react to it.
​
“Zero” director Shakha Benbow says, “This film highlights the personal toll losing has on a group of players, coaches, and parents.” The reality of this toll is “heightened as we look through the lens of a talented high school senior and a coach in his last season.”
