Hello, I'm a Lebanese director, screenwriter, and photographer, born and raised in Ain Ebel, a picturesque village in southern Lebanon, and currently based between Lisbon and Beirut. 

At 19, I moved to Beirut to pursue university studies in audiovisual arts. After graduating, I worked as an art director in film and advertising for a short period. I then focused on my passion for fashion photography, which led to opportunities to shoot for clients such as Architectural Digest, Marie Claire Arabia, and GQ in the Middle East

My filmmaking often digs into intimate and personal themes inspired by my own life experiences. My first independent short film, Autostrade Beirut (Beirut Highway), premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in 2021. Autostrade Beirut earned me a scholarship from Erasmus Mundus, Kino Eyes, for a two-year master's program in film directing in Europe across four universities: IADT in Ireland, Universidade Lusófona in Portugal, Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland, and BFM Estonia. During this time, we created my master's graduation film, Uma Mãe Vai À Praia (A Mother Goes To The Beach), which won Best Short Film at Sophia Estudante 2024, an award given by the Portuguese Academy of Cinema. It also premiered at the 33rd Curta Cinema - Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival and was selected for IndieLisboa, Curtas Vila Do Conde (Portugal), São Paulo International Short Film Festival, Concorto Film Festival (Italy) and Aesthetica Film Festival (UK).

Currently, I am developing new projects in Portugal and Lebanon. Contact me to create together: pedrohasrouny@gmail.com
