Personal Portrait :
-Contrary to what the praise of myself leaves one thinking, I remain a worthless man who possesses the particularity of having been endowed with enough ambition during my career similar to many others who have followed a path equivalent to mine. As time went by in an assiduous way, I had the chance to get to know little by little all the contours of the mysterious face that this audio-visual world presents. The encounters that I have met while moving forward with a determined step have given me a knowledge from which I draw the information that conditions my decision making. A knowledge of the road that has been set out, clarifies my perception in my artistic choices, bringing to each new project a form that is always better than the previous one. The fact that I started from the bottom of the ladder opened my eyes to all the components of a production. And more and more I am improving on the way I handle them so that I can finally operate with a strong hand the process of a perfect work.
Major Experiences :
-Prodigy: This program with an original concept is divided into 50 episodes shot in 39 wilayas and lasting 13 minutes. Being the director was one of my most striking experiences because of the limited time during which we were required to accomplish what some people consider impossible. Each week we highlighted for the general public an episode dedicated to the discovery that sheds the light on the talents that are common to all Algeria. In one week; the travelling, the preparation, the realization, the return to the studio, the post production and finally the broadcasting. I was not used to this and for the first time in my life I felt vigorous and strong in completing this product. Prodigy was this introduction that announced the color of what was waiting for me as a director, so it became one of the pillars of my personification.
-Master chef: The Master chef’s license is imposing, by its power acquired worldwide, a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Hence, it was a question of giving birth to it on the Algerian territory while trying to compete with those who preceded me. The production of this program required my total involvement as its structure involved indoor and outdoor sets as well as the implementation of unique technical elements. Various travels constituted the decor of this immersive program that invites us to culinary discovery as an experience of taste and travel. I was managing several teams at that time, each with its own mission (Plateau, ITV, Portraits,…) I had the chance to set foot in a field littered with obstacles to overcome. After 3 seasons without it being ready to stop, this cult show forged in me the real vision of my job with all its hazards.
-Sawt Challenge: Produced at the end of 2018, this program, which is ineffable by its nature and the nature of what it involved, has become one of the most unforgettable experiences for me as a young man. Staging a freshly created concept, it presents us with the immensity of Algerian song judging and helping with a modest hand the future partners to realize their dreams. The month we dedicated to film this allowed me and my team to see all the colors. With a demanding public and audience, a lack of candidates and capricious artists in our charge, we saw various walls standing in the way of our success. But we fought to create our own musical program that would stand out clearly from today’s copy pasted programs.
