Available to hire
Hi, I’m Yasmin Ismail, a recent filmmaking graduate from Birmingham City University with hands-on experience in camera operation and video editing. I thrive on the practical challenges of short-film production, from setting up camera rigs to shaping the story through post-production.
I’m passionate about cinematography and narrative storytelling, and I’m eager to contribute technical know-how and a collaborative work ethic to a creative team. I enjoy learning new workflows, crafting engaging visuals, and delivering reliable production support on tight schedules.
