I’m Samir, a director based in Antwerp with Moroccan and Flemish roots.
I found my way into filmmaking through Parkour. While my friends were learning the movement, I was learning how to frame it. That’s where my eye was born.
I never went to film school. Everything grew organically. I learned without a recipe, by following my curiosity and trusting my instincts. Years of directing, shooting, editing and grading my own work led me to directing, the part of filmmaking I love most.
Today, I’m drawn to commercials because they’re condensed. Every second matters. Every frame carries weight.
I look for beauty where others look away. I embrace raw reality and what is honest and unpolished. I’m drawn to texture, signs of life and honest wear. Character comes first.
