Biography, Sam Aylia Sako

 

I was born in a little village called Telaskif in northern Iraq.  I attended high school in Baghdad (Baghdad High) and after graduation at the age of eighteen, my family moved to Greece.  There, I  learned a new culture and language, and soon thereafter moved to United States of America (Detroit, Michigan).  I grew up in Detroit and attended Wayne County Community College and received an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts.  Then off to California.  In 1982 I started attending the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA), where I majored in Film and Cinema. I then continued my studies at California State University in Northridge and received my B.A. degree in Motion Picture and Television in 1987.

 

When I finished my studies, I started my professional career in the field of MTV. I worked as a freelancer for independent films and major motion picture companies locally and internationally.  I have produced several features and short films for the US and Middle Eastern markets.

 

Throughout the years in working with major studios, I have gained experience and knowledge in developing skills, methods and guides to conduct my work on a professional level.
