At the same time, he tries his hand at screenwriting for his own short and feature film projects, and for Moroccan television series.Following two experimental films (Décalage, 2015 and Confusion, 2016), he directed his first short fiction film, Alter Ego, produced in 2016 and selected in several international festivals. His second short film, Ales, produced in early 2018 received the Special Mention of the Jury at the 19th National Film Festival of Tangier and continues his tour of festivals internationally.In post-production of his third short film (Femme à Clefs, 2018), Faiçal is now devoted to writing his first feature film "Barzakh".
