Architectural film director covering Jeddah and the Red Sea coast, directing film and videography for developers, hospitality brands, and design firms. Directed as an architect reads a building, alongside the Jeddah stills work and the full architectural film service.
The Coast Changes the Film
Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea gateway, and its waterfront and hospitality developments are built around light, water, and horizon. That is directing material: a film here can use movement, reflection, and the changing coastal light in ways a landlocked city cannot.
Directing means deciding how those elements are revealed over time rather than captured in a single dramatic pass. An architect-trained film director plans that sequence around the building and the coast together.
The stills reading and the film reading are the same; the coast simply gives the direction more to work with.
What Gets Directed in Jeddah
The work spans hospitality and waterfront films, developer and residential pieces, and brand films for design practices. Directed architectural film has been produced elsewhere in the Kingdom for NEOM and KAFD, and film work has been festival-selected.
Hospitality films in particular are directed around atmosphere, because a hotel sells a feeling before it sells a room, and over-lit, over-cut footage destroys exactly that.
Film and stills are planned together so a campaign carries one visual language across motion and print.
Directed and Delivered
Every Jeddah film starts with direction agreed in advance, with permits and access handled as part of the commission.
Capture pairs motion with medium format stills, finished to a fine art realistic standard, colour accurate and ready for booking platforms, campaigns, publication, and awards.
Jeddah is covered as a Saudi market with travel built into the scope, and the schedule is built around the coastal light rather than the calendar.
