The Vision

I am embarking on a mission to cultivate and elevate the animation industry in the Middle East, positioning myself as one of its foremost pioneers. I reside in Saudi Arabia, a nation committed to realizing its vision of becoming a global frontrunner, as articulated in the 2030 Vision. A key factor of this vision involves an increase in domestically produced content, a realm in which I aspire to leave an indelible mark.
 

During my time in college, I have a clear set of objectives that I plan to pursue. One of my priorities is building a strong network of connections. I believe that having a network can be incredibly beneficial when it comes to learning new things. By connecting with knowledgeable individuals, I can seek their expertise and gain valuable insights. Additionally, having a network can also be advantageous if I decide to start a business, as I can tap into the resources and support of people who can help me establish and grow my venture.

 

Another objective of mine is to attend a reputable institution or college that offers a challenging environment. Being part of a world-class institution would provide me with opportunities to enhance my knowledge about the industry and connect with like-minded individuals who share similar interests. However, my desire to learn extends beyond the boundaries of the college. I am determined to seek out opportunities to learn from industry leaders and professionals who have achieved success in the field. By doing so, I can gain valuable insights and perspectives that complement my formal education.

​

I joined many courses in Filmmaking, Editing, and Videography,  learning as much as I can. I wanted to learn more about animation too, but my country and in fact the entire middle east was missing this industry, and it bugged me that this amazing industry of animation has not yet been explored properly in my culture. However, I did not let that stop me. In 2021 I joined Ringling College's pre-college program, one of the top colleges for 3D Animation. There I took courses in 3D animation, motion design, 2D design, 3D design, 4D design, and drawing, these courses were taught to me by people who had worked in the industry. I was even honored to have been given a letter of recommendation by one of the industry professionals, Jared Greenleaf, who worked on various Marvel films as a lead storyboarder.

 

Once I have completed my four years of college and accumulated a wealth of knowledge and connections, I plan to leverage these resources to contribute to the development of the animation industry in the Middle East. It is my hope that through my efforts, I can make a positive impact not only in the region but also on a global scale.
