Artist bio

I'm Sayab Fassen. I'm a Mexican filmmaker in progress who want's to tell stories about transcendence or decadence of the people. I started to make my own short films since 10 ago. The last year, I worked in 3 short films as co-writter, co-director, producer and post-producer (the 1st one of them, was produced in San Francisco for the ONE LOVE ONG, and was nominated for the All American High School Film Festival 2019). I am currently studying animation in Guadalajara city, because I want to expand my knowledge to apply it in my work as a filmmaker.
