About Me

Tasnim is a Chicago-based filmmaker & photographer whose work is rooted in authenticity, vibrancy, and community.

Raised in Arizona and having lived in four different countries, including time spent working in the Middle East, Tasnim embodies the essence of a third culture kid. Her diverse upbringing—blending Palestinian, and Mexican influences—shapes her passion for storytelling. With a keen eye for capturing intimate truths and nuances, she infuses her film and photography with a unique perspective.

Dedicated to celebrating misrepresented communities and amplifying underrepresented voices, Tasnim believes in the power of inclusivity & strives to foster a space where everyone feels seen and heard.
