Zaina Tibi

Zaina Tibi’s journey is kind of wild, honestly. Born in Palestine, now hustling in LA—she’s not just chasing a dream, she’s straight up living it. She shot her first short film at 17 (which, like, what were the rest of us doing at 17? Not that). Zaina’s got the brains and the creative juice too—a BA in Journalism and Political Science, then a Master’s from Harvard in Production and Digital Media Design. Not exactly your everyday background for a film producer, right? She’s the type who gets fired up about building stories from scratch, shaping ideas into something that actually hits people where it counts. Zaina is all about the details—the tiny, weird, beautiful things that make a film, well, stick. She’s not just ticking boxes; she’s out here trying to break some. Working with directors? She eats that up. Loves bouncing ideas, pushing boundaries, and getting messy in the creative process. There’s something electric about her style—she’s not afraid to mix things up, get a little weird, or break a trope or two. Her big splash? Producing Blood Star, a thriller that’s as bold and sharp as she is. It’s the kind of movie she’d actually want to watch herself, not just something to pad a résumé. Zaina’s got this energy—her work pulses with a love for storytelling and a need to do things differently. She’s not just making movies; she’s making stuff that actually matters, to her and, honestly, to the rest of us who are tired of the same old thing.
