Built on curiosity.
Shaped by cinema.

Baha’s work began with a simple ambition: make complex knowledge accessible in the language people actually speak. He founded Draw My Science in 2015, creating factual and social-impact stories in Tunisian Arabic with English subtitles.

His practice connects research, screenwriting, performance, cinematography and 2D animation. Across 150+ videos, his subjects have ranged from mental health and digital rights to climate solutions and consumer technology.

In 2024, he founded VALORA Productions to bring that approach to films, campaigns and original formats for brands, NGOs and institutions. As its founder, he leads creative development and production from the first idea through the final delivery.
