Nasreen Alkhateeb is an award-winning filmmaker whose work amplifies underrepresented voices. By illuminating racial injustice, disability inequity, and marginalized youth, Nasreen thrives as a leader of diverse storytelling projects. Her ability to motivate audiences is a direct result of being part of multiple marginalized groups: multi-heritage, Black, Iraqi, first-generation, raised Muslim, LGBTQ+, and Disabled.

In 2020, Nasreen was chosen as the lead cinematographer for Kamala Harris' successful vice presidential campaign and Oprah's Emmy-winning series “Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man.” She executive-produced East of the River, which screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, and directed campaigns for NASA and the Women’s March with emphases on BIPOC voices. In addition to being the director of photography on two narrative films highlighting LGBTQ+ and Disabled lead characters, Alkhateeb was honored as “Cinematographer of the Year” by NASA for her work in the Arctic.

In 2021, Alkhateeb directed a miniseries about the first Disabled astronauts and was the director of photography of the episode of the Apple+ show “Dear…” with Billy Porter. In 2022, she was the director of photography for a six-part docu-series about the first Black women who impacted the fashion industry, executive-produced by Iman. An alumna of the Sundance Accessible Futures Intensive, the Disruptors Fellowship, and the RespectAbility Fellowship, a mentee of the American Society of Cinematographers Vision Mentorship Program, and the recipient of the “Wild Card” award by NASA peers, Nasreen has been described by Forbes as “breaking barriers.”
