BIOs

ZAINA TRIPP
writer/director/creator
Hailing from the theatrical and fine arts world, Zaina Tripp produces her thesis film as an amalgamation of every art form’s skills which she grows to master. She brings in experience from years of mark-making studies and obsession with visual arts to create an experimental short that explores the most daunting foe of them all; fate itself. Zaina completed high school at the American School of Dubai with the Dale Haus Artistic Achievement award, and graduated with honors from the Los Angeles campus of New York Film Academy’s BFA Filmmaking program (August 2023). She pushes forward through each challenge in the pursuit of making ethereal art.
