Few filmmakers can sell a story like Zahir Omar, as seen in the debut of his Malaysian crime epic Fly By Night, which made its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in 2018. The critically acclaimed feature film debut was followed by his work on the award-winning series of The Bridge (season 2, Viu/HBO Asia).
His sense of storytelling is attributed to more than a decade of television advertising across regional and worldwide markets, including blue-chip clients like Nestle, Google and McDonald's.
His unorthodox vision and visual lustre inspires viewers with a central truth and empathy toward one another, a mantra he repeats to his two young daughters when playing Roblox with each other.
