Hamza Hamida received his B.A. degree in software engineering from the University of Zarqa. His passion for photography began at an early age in his small neighborhood in Hashmi Shamali in Jordan where he started taking pictures of his surroundings and experimenting with photography which led him to develop a passion for storytelling. From that point on, he participated in numerous filmmaking and storytelling workshops in Amman in documentary and short filmmaking organized by the American Embassy in Jordan, Al Jazeera channel, and the Royal Film Commission (RFC) to help gain a better understanding of this artform. Hamza received his first grant to make a documentary project from the American embassy in Jordan and the RFC to create his first short documentary “Mahareb.”
