Selim Khemissi

Honestly, I'm at a point in my life where I want to shake up the box of my skills and past experiences, and see what comes out of it. I crave challenges and the opportunity to learn new things within a work environment where things are happening. I need to be in a place where I surprise even myself, that's what drives me. After spending 8 years in Belgian media mainly as a host and producer (radio, television, podcasts) and having founded myself two businesses (a production company and a placement agency), I made the decision to step back when I realized I no longer felt the drive to go to work.

I cannot come to terms with the idea that the majority of my time doesn't ignite a sense of excitement to get out of bed each morning. This difficult time made me reflect and reminded me that it's my responsibility to narrate a different story for myself, one that's engaging and fulfilling enough to create a sense of accomplishment in my life. I love telling stories so much, whether through my voice, my writing, or pure graphic creation. However, as I mentioned, I want to apply my skills and philosophy to a new environment. To do this, I had to remind myself not to deny the possibilities. So, here I am.

With a dynamic career spanning multiple facets of the entertainment industry, I bring a rich and diverse skill set to the table. Beginning as a skilled camera operator, I honed my visual storytelling abilities, capturing moments that resonate. Transitioning seamlessly, I ventured into writing, crafting engaging content for TV, radio, and stand-up comedy, showcasing both my creativity and comedic flair. Notably, I hosted a successful radio show in Belgium, further amplifying my reach and connection with audiences. Building on this foundation, I stepped into the realm of TV production, orchestrating captivating narratives for the screen. Simultaneously, my prowess as a video director allowed me to create compelling visual experiences. Propelled by an entrepreneurial spirit, I went on to establish my own talent agency, a testament to my drive and commitment to fostering emerging talents. My journey exemplifies adaptability, creativity, and a proven track record across the entertainment spectrum blurring the line between journalism, art and entertainment.

It all started with a love for movies – a passion that set my journey in motion. Captivated by the enchantment of the big screen, I embarked on a three-year university adventure, diving into the world of audiovisual production. Each moment was a step toward merging my cinematic devotion with academic pursuits. Through those years, I learned the art of storytelling through visuals and sound, refining my skills along the way. But ultimately, what matters most is that this path led me to realize my core desire: to tell stories above all else. This revelation became the driving force behind my diverse array of subsequent endeavors, guiding me along various creative avenues. From the first frame to the last, my education not only deepened my love for film but also equipped me with the tools to excel in the dynamic universe of media and entertainment.
