Hi! I am a director, cinematographer, and short-form editor who specializes in giving social media videos a true cinematic look. I currently shoot and edit content for Eon, the leading digital media house in Pakistan, and I also lead the film wing of South Asia's oldest student-led dramatics society. From fast-paced commercial work for brands like OPPO to trailers that have crossed over a million organic views, I am used to delivering high-end cinematic videos on tight weekly deadlines. I am here primarily for long-term creative growth, and a good salary is just the cherry on top. To make this easy for you, I want to offer a completely risk-free trial: let me work with you for a full month. If I prove myself and deliver exactly what you need, you bring me on and pay me for that month. If I don't hit the mark, we part ways and you get to keep an entire month of custom cinematic work completely for free.
