Will work with Emilio one day

I haven’t worked with Emilio yet, but we are planning something. He doesn’t know it yet, but it’s coming :)

I like the freshness and depth he brings to his work.

About Emilio

Emilio Bou Onk is a passionate Documentary Filmmaker and Cinematographer based in Lebanon. He graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BFA in Film & Television, specializing in Cinematography. With a strong foundation in both technical filmmaking and artistic vision, Emilio has worked on a diverse range of films, particularly documentaries and brand films, both in Lebanon and the United States. Driven by a desire to preserve cultural heritage, Emilio launched Afaq Films, a documentary production company dedicated to capturing and sharing the rich stories of Lebanon and beyond, offering brands compelling visual narratives that enhance their brand and connect with audiences.

I believe that films have the power to be more than just stories shown through a cinematic lens, and to become platforms for advocacy and research.

My Documentaries

Afaq Films was born from my deep-rooted passion for Lebanon's extraordinary tapestry of stories. I leverage the power of visual storytelling to create compelling narratives that preserve cultural heritage and drive brand engagement. I create short documentaries, brand films, and micro-documentaries to capture such compelling narratives. I strongly believe that brand films are essential for every person and brand, serving as powerful tools for connection and lasting impressions.

and a LITTLE MORE about Emilio

When Emilio isn't filming, thinking about his next filmx or talking about it, he's busy getting lost on the trails. He enjoys trail running and hiking while enjoying nature.
