I'm Ali Hussain, a storyteller at heart and a graduate in Film and TV from the esteemed National College of Arts in Lahore. For me, storytelling isn't just a job; it's a passion that ignites my soul. Since 2019, I've been weaving tales as a multimedia producer with VOA, diving headfirst into an eclectic mix of stories. From shedding light on social issues to dissecting economic and political landscapes, each story I've worked on has been a journey in itself. But I'm more than just a producer—I'm a non-fiction film director, a wizard with the video editor for documentaries and news, a curious photojournalist, and a visionary documentary DP video journalist. In every frame, I strive to capture the essence of stories that resonate deeply. With a blend of passion and versatility, I'm dedicated to bringing narratives to life, crafting visuals that speak volumes across cultures and communities. Join me on this endless quest to paint stories that leave a lasting imprint.
