(as used by Disney Feature Animation and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop). In 1994, I founded developed and managed the highly acclaimed Animation Arts Centre at Seneca College of Arts and Technology in Toronto, Canada. A small team of my successful graduates were on the production crew credited with a GENIE and ACADEMY AWARD (Oscar) for the best-animated short film “Ryan” (2004) by Chris Landreth. I was previously an Executive consultant and Executive Producer at Sherezade (SMC). SMC was the management, operations, business development and marketing arm of Sherezade Films (SF), which focused on business development, film financing, and production of A- list Hollywood and international films.

SMC-SF’s films have included talents such as Daniel Craig, Bradley Cooper, Julie Christie, Orlando Bloom, Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster, Rachel McAdams, Natalie Portman and Ethan Hawke. I also acted as Executive Producer/Producer for several innovative “Arabic styled” Music Videos screened on MTV Arabia and live performances produced in the UAE. As Co-Founder and Executive Producer at MotionBluez Pictures (Canada), I am interested in developing “high profile” Sino-Western entertainment partnerships and co-productions in the West and China for Films, TV Shows, and Animated Features.
