About Yanis

Hi there! I have been working in Qatar as a filmmaker for the past 6 years, where I began my career creating commercials for high-profile clients. I have decided to move to the United Kingdom to continue working on film projects at a larger scale Through my advertising work, I found a passion for cinematography which drove me to take the route of narrative-independent filmmaking.
