Meedo Taha
is a filmmaker, author, and actor whose work interrogates the intimate encounters between bodies and buildings, how the spaces we inhabit sculpt who we become.
Hailing from Beirut, he received a Masters and PhD in Architecture from Tadao Ando at the University of Tokyo and worked on multinational projects with Arata Isozaki. He made experimental films while exploring the world, growing fluent in Japanese, Spanish, and French alongside his native English and Arabic.
He went on to earn a dual MFA in Directing and Cinematography from UCLA Film School and continues to train in acting at the Stella Adler Academy and The Groundlings.
Meedo’s films always have an architectural element—be it the home, the bus stop, or the highway—and have received support from Sundance, Film Independent, Doha Film Institute, and impACT Lab at the Cannes Film Festival. Between teaching at Chapman University and leading workshops at Sundance Collab and Cine Qua Non Lab, he wrote his first novel, a multigenerational crime drama entitled A Road to Damascus, published by Interlink.
Upcoming projects include the melancholy family caper Other People, the existential thriller Nisyan, and the poetic short film Under the 405.
Meedo lives in Los Angeles and Beirut with his Ecuadorean-Lebanese wife and teenage son.
