Maria Achkar
My name is Maria. I am an American/Lebanese content creator, documentary producer, writer and assistant editor with a passion for songwriting/singing and acting. Storytelling is at the heart of every film project I am involved in. After graduating with a BA in fine arts (drawing and painting) and english literature from the American University of Beirut , followed by a masters in photography at Goldsmiths University of London, all the while working on musical projects, I have quickly realized that film truly gathers everything I liked under one roof. Since then, I have been producing film projects with a focus on documentaries, humanitarian and educational content. I have also been writing (voice over writing, copywriting, songwriting), along with video editing work. In parallel, I have been very lucky to develop a performance portfolio in both singing/songwriting as well as acting. My passion is to not only use different artistic tools and create rich content to tell important stories that could have a meaningful impact in our world, but also design and implement outreach strategies that would actually bring projects to the next level to truly trigger change. I feed off of creating impactful content, collaborating with teams, talking to people, forging partnerships and finding creative ways to support impactful projects.
