Samer was born on the 15th of November 1988 in Beirut, where he lived and worked until he relocated to Dubai in 2013. His professional career in film and television began at the tender age of 15 at a local TV station. There, he discovered the art of editing and began working night shifts in parallel with high school and university.

Samer joined The Final Cut in 2008, a post-production company based in Beirut, where he edited Feature films, TV commercials, Documentaries, and Reality TV Shows, among other things. In 2013, Filmworks Dubai, the leading production house in the region at the time, recruited him to be their head of Post-Production.

 

Alongside Post-Producing, Video Editing, and Animation, Samer has worked as a Producer and Executive Producer on documentaries and digital content videos with Entertainment Works, the content production arm he established for Filmworks in late 2015.

 

Samer also taught courses in film institutes, created various production and post-production workflows, and currently serves on the American University of Dubai's advisory board for their visual communication department and often acts as a juror for the student's senior projects.

In 2020, with his two partners, Deena and Anthony, Samer founded Nested VFX, a post-production and VFX boutique studio out of Dubai Studio City that has since emerged as an industry leader in the region. In 2022, Samer opened the first overseas branch for Nested in Riyadh.

Beyond all this, Samer is a proud father of two who loves to travel, read, swim, and, most importantly, spend time with his family.
