CURRENT MISSION Me and a friend of mine are setting out on a unique motorcycle journey all the way from Beirut to Lisbon. If you want to follow our journey please like us on Facebook. www.facebook.com/FRNWH ABOUT ME Hi my Name is Karam I was born in Linz, raised in Austria and currently found in Lebanon, Beirut, I am a industry formed and self taught Director with a background in Editing and Animation. Inspired by my families creative background and the variety of cultures I formed an individual style and treat that has an ongoing and never ending hunger for more. My style fuses cinematic imagery with subtle but far reaching narrative storytelling. I have worked for brands such as Red Bull, Q-Tel, Adobe and Lebanese Brew whilst also lecturing at conferences and universities around Lebanon. PHILOSOPHY My personal philosophy is an ever changing belief that can not be manifested and will always transform from one encounter to another. The reason why I live this life, didn't figure that out yet but I guess being good and helping others just makes it a better experience. Somehow thou I end up helping strangers more than friends. Feeling Thoughts???? I guess that is a conversation worth having at the right moment and place/

My Interests
I am into Filmmaking, Animations, Photography outdoors sports such as mountain biking, hiking or just chilling near a tree. I love water and the sea, wish I could breath under water so obviously I am into diving, recently I kind of try to discover a more spiritual side something to bound with. I use the crafts I learned to capture those moments and keep the memories as a trail to lead.
