Diana Abousaleh is a Syrian-Venezuelan independent writer, filmmaker, mental health advocate, and educator rooted in Texas.  With a deep-seated passion for elevating diverse voices, particularly those from the MENA/SWANA region, Diana curates a monthly newsletter, "Screenwriting &," to

 

amplify these unique perspectives.

Grounded in her love for sci-fi drama and narratives exploring multicultural themes, she crafts stories that resonate on personal and universal levels.

 

Her talents have been recognized and cultivated through esteemed programs like New York's Cinephilia Productions, Stowe Story Labs, and the Mosalsalat Screenwriters Lab of the Royal Film Commission of Jordan.

For Diana, storytelling is more than just a medium—it's a

 

tool for illuminating the intricacies of the human experience. Whether peering into the depths of the interior self or casting a fresh perspective on the exterior world. 

 

Diana's expertise extends beyond her creations, as she lends her insights in script consulting to prestigious festivals and production companies such as Eclectic Pictures, Televisa USA, and the BlueCat Competition. Her recent involvement with the Emmy-nominated indie web series "WASHED" underscores her commitment to nurturing compelling storytelling.
