I am interested in human centric storytelling and helping audience to communicate an idea or solution with visually compelling stories. I am a Filmmaker/ Video Producer/ Video Journalist based in Bangladesh, lived and worked in UK and USA for a few brilliant years. Associated with broadcast journalism, international media and documentary film production, digital content creation, and other non-fiction in different roles for 15+ years. Alongside my independent film projects, I also work as a freelance Video Journalist for Arab Broadcast Services, and Video Producer for AFP Media Services (FACTSTORY Agency) since 2017. I have produced short documentaries and audiovisuals for clients like the UN, UNHCR, UNFPA, EU, Save the Children, BRAC, Carers Worldwide, Channel S UK and CBC Canada.

Covid has crippled the Bangladeshi education sector and forced millions of children into the labour market, according to a report of ILO and UNICEF. The shutdown of schools for more than a year and the reduction of family income exposed school-going children to the risk of child labor. The availability of child workers at low wages makes child labor popular nowadays.
UNHCR provided essential services and activities and disaster risk reduction in response to the Rohingya emergency in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, with the fund of Qatar Charity. I was the video producer for FACTSTORY Agency. Client: UNHCR
In Savar, Bangladesh Centre for Disability in Development CDD is working with over 500 carers, 92% of whom are female. They all care for a close relative (child or adult) who is severely disabled. The majority are of working age but over half of them are unable to work because they have nobody else to care for their loved one while they work. Over 90% of carers report that they worry about their financial situation. 87% of the carers report that they are depressed and 78% of them experience regular back pain. Much of this can be attributed to the mental and physical stresses of caring responsibilities. I worked as a director in this project. Client: Carers Worldwide.
