Oualid Mouaness, the principal of Tricycle, has a track record of producing award-winning, socially conscious films, as well as high-profile commercials, music videos and live events.

With its strong network and deep-rooted connections providing access to some of the strongest entities in the US, Tricycle aims to offer a bridge for Middle Eastern films to tap the North American market and its audience. Mouaness was a co-producer and editor of Mari Kornhauser's ‘Kitchen Privileges' (2000), line producer of David LaChapelle's ‘Rize' (2005), and a producer of Adria Petty's ‘Paris Not France' (2008). More recently, Mouaness co-produced Fouad Mikati's ‘Return to Sender' (2014). Tricycle's latest passion project is a co-production with South Africa: the life-affirming skateboarding documentary ‘I Am Thalente' by Nathalie Johns.
