Born and raised in the picturesque village of Ain Ebel, southern Lebanon, I moved to Beirut at 19 to pursue 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 photography, which led to opportunities to shoot for clients such as Architectural Digest, Marie Claire Arabia, and GQ in the Middle East.


My filmmaking explore intimate, personal themes inspired by life experiences. My debut short, Autostrade Beirut (Beirut Highway), premiered at Raindance Film Festival (2021), earning me an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for a two-year master’s in film directing across Europe. My masters graduation film, Uma Mãe Vai À Praia (A Mother Goes To The Beach), won Best Short Film at Sophia Estudante 2024 (Portuguese Academy of Cinema), Best National Short Film (Student) 30th Caminhos do Cinema Português Film Festival in Portugal, and screened at prestigious festivals including IndieLisboa, São Paulo International Short Film Festival, Concorto Film Festival (Italy) and Aesthetica Film Festival (UK).

I’m currently developing new projects in Portugal and Lebanon. Let’s create together: pedrohasrouny@gmail.com
