Hassan Said

Hassan Said is a multilingual, Egyptian-born, award-winning Director, Producer, and Writer with over a decade of experience in film, television, commercials, music videos, and documentary content. A member of SAG-AFTRA, Hassan creates work in English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, blending cultural nuance with a cinematic edge.

After earning his degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he began his career at the acclaimed agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, creating content for major clients including Yahoo, NBA, Sprint, HP, and Adobe. Shortly after, he was sponsored by Angola’s Ministry of Culture to produce and mentor on Alambamento, a Portuguese-language film that went on to win multiple awards and secure international distribution in 40+ countries across platforms like Amazon and iTunes.

Hassan’s storytelling has since reached audiences across the globe, with his work screening at over 50 festivals in more than 40 countries. His award-winning narrative shorts, music videos, and branded content have been featured by outlets ranging from independent critics to major international publications. Now based in Los Angeles, he has worked with top-tier studios and production companies including Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, Focus Features, NBC, MJZ, and Biscuit Filmworks.

Known for vivid visual language and emotionally charged storytelling, Hassan explores themes of self-awareness, identity, and the psychological effects of life’s most intimate and jarring experiences. He is currently developing multiple feature films and international projects.

His latest project, THIS IS YOUR SONG, is an ambitious one-shot feature set in San Francisco—filmed entirely in a single 97-minute take, making it the longest continuous shot in U.S. cinema history. The film is currently in post-production.

When not directing, Hassan can be found writing screenplays on his typewriter, wandering the streets of Los Angeles or San Francisco with his vintage Hasselblad camera, or showcasing his photography in galleries worldwide.
