Benzine

Ayeesha likes to make things. Ayeesha is a multidisciplinary creative and fixer based between Beirut and London. Having lived in the GCC as well, most of her inspiration is drawn from her experience living between Western and Middle Eastern cultures. She loves including elements of diversity and inclusion within her work. After working with BBC Studios, in London, on global brands such as Doctor Who, BBC Planet, and Top Gear, Ayeesha found herself increasingly drawn to the arts and entertainment industry. Most recently Ayeesha has written and directed a short film, “بنزين” (Benzine) or petrol in Arabic. The short film approaches Lebanon’s heated political and economic climate in a satirical manner. As well as having her foot in the film industry, her skill set proved to be a great advantage in the advertising and marketing industry. Ayeesha hopes in the near future to combine her passions and expertise in production to explore fashion films and theatre. The scope of her work has recently diversified to include being a contract fixer for foreign correspondents and initiatives, film photography and branding.
