Working with filmmaker Philippe
Taking two workshops with Philippe was an excellent opportunity for me to get to know the man behind the creative work he produces. Since then, we explored ideas to bring his experience, knowledge, and creative streak to organizations.
Being around and working with Philippe is the Tabasco on any good meal :-)! It’s been a privilege, and I’m sure it will be to any organization willing to embark with him on a journey.

Fantascope
production
In addition to my work as a film director, I am the founder of Fantascope Production (1989). In between fiction and documentary films, Fantascope produced corporate films in France, Lebanon, and in the Gulf region. Among its films are a promotional video for The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (K.A. CARE) in 2011, and a safety video for Middle East Airlines in 2016, whose main focus was to promote tourism and showcasing Lebanon’s touristic sites.
Fantascope also specialized in the production of films for museums, such as the one made for the Museum of the Central Bank of Lebanon in 2014 – which highlighted the history of paper money and coins from past eras –, the Beirut’s Archeological Museum of the American University in 2017, and the Ksara museum of wine in the Bekaa valley in 2020.
