After directing several commercials within the agency, Mazen decided to make the leap into professional film directing - backing it up with a degree from The New York Film Academy in Manhattan.

Whenever he is not directing films, he is there instead, directing animations, and flirting with the latest digital trends... Always true to his nature.
