Aziz Tazi's dreams of becoming a filmmaker were first seeded when he was a child making video game films in Casablanca, Morocco. The videos went viral and some were awarded "Best Visual Effects" and "Most Innovative" by a popular gaming website after he turned 15. In 2012, Aziz received funding from his engineering school in Paris and French bank BNP Paribas to direct and produce Imago. This psychological thriller about paranoia and madness was screened at international film festivals and opened the Arab Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2013. Pursuing his studies at the world-renowned University of California at Berkeley, Aziz made a documentary about successful Arab leaders in the U.S. called "Arab Stories: Bay Area," which aired on PBS. After a year of working as creative director for the Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology, spearheading an ambitious effort to make UC Berkeley's entrepreneurship education available to everyone online, he moved to L.A. where he became the festival manager of the Arab Film Festival. After three years of living here, he is now shooting his first feature film "Night Walk" between L.A. and Morocco along with a star-studded cast including the likes of Oscar-nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, The Expendables) Tiny Lister (Friday, The Fifth Element), Patrick Kilpatrick (Minority Report), Richard Tyson (Kindergarten Cop) and Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Aziz made the cover of Morocco's highly-acclaimed "Challenge" magazine and was voted "Top 50 Men of the Year 2013" by VH Magazine, next to prominent Moroccan politicians and businessmen. Recently, he was also featured on Forbes Africa's "30 Under 30" as a leading change-maker under 30 years old. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
