Mazen Kaled je rođen u Bejrutu. Posle rada na analitici i istraživanju, nastavio je rad u advertajzingu gde je pisao i režirao TV reklame kao jedan segment svog rada na mestu kreativnog direktora. Studirao je i radio u Bejrutu, Vašingtonu, Dubaiju i Montrealu.

Thematic cohesion is at the core of this drama, with almost every scene focused on the sensations of water and the male human form.
