Available to hire
Hi, I’m Abel Micael, a passionate filmmaker with a strong independent background in writing, directing, and producing short films, music videos, and original series. I love crafting visually compelling narratives rooted in introspection and identity, and I take a hands-on approach to every stage of production.
I’ve gained experience leading creative teams, managing shoots, and delivering emotionally resonant stories from script to screen. I’m also the founder of The World of Abiy, a creative platform for authentic storytelling. I enjoy collaborating with talented artists and bringing unique stories to life.
