About

Hi I am Japanese Lebanese, I grew up in England and Japan. I love writing fiction, traveling, dancing, observing different expressions.
I make documentaries with the focus on street youths and marginalized populations. So far I have made documentaries in Ecuador, Lebanon and Afghanistan. I recently graduated from Princeton University in Comparative Politics. With a fellowship I received from Princeton, I went to make documentaries in Brazil about youths in favelas and domestic workers (maids). The same year, I went to Colombia and Nepal to film different refugee camps. Currently, I am back in Tokyo, as a free-lancer.

Miami Int. Film Festival-accommodation

Hello,

My documentary on Ecuadorian street youths, ‘Street Witness’ has been recently selected by the Miami Int. Film Festival. I am really excited, as it will be a world premiere. If anyone knows of a cozy accommodation near South Beach, I would be very grateful. I will be traveling with my mother (who has a very young spirit) to also celebrate her 50th anniversary. We will be in Miami from Feb. 27th to March 10th.

Thank you very much,
Cheers,
Soraya
