Hello all,

I am looking for several generalists profile for a studio in Doha, Qatar.
My name is Ahmed and I was running a small studio back in Paris during early 2000, then I moved to Qatar in 2008. After 2 years working as producer in production house/advertising agencies, I decided to setup my studio 2 months ago: www.limelight.pro
The showreel and productions are the one I had done back in Paris.
I am looking for experienced webdesigner/director/animator to join me here to build the first and only creative studio in Qatar.
That is a bold move but that can pay off especially with Qatar being awarded world cup 2022 ;-).

I am waiting for your showreel at ahmed@limelight.pro.

Cheers
