FOUNDING PARTNER · DIRECTOR — THE HOUSE
Ziad.
I direct like a producer who finally got the keys: the shot the budget used to kill is the one we open on.
On the craft.
Directs from the image backwards. Comes to a script looking for the one frame the film cannot be made without, then defends it through every meeting that would rather it were cheaper.
Calls the method before anyone opens a tool — fully generated, fully shot, or the two in the same cut. The film decides which, and he decides what the film is saying.
