Description: My name is Zaid Hassan, and I am a passionate filmmaker and director based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. I completed my studies in Film Production at the renowned USC School of Cinematic Arts, where I honed my skills and expanded my knowledge in the art of storytelling.

Through my films, I aim to challenge stereotypes, bridge cultural gaps, and shed light on the rich tapestry of diverse experiences that exist within our society.
