Zeed is a filmmaker with an instinct for storytelling that feels both intimate and expansive, a rare gift that sets him apart from many in the game. As writer and director of ‘The Buraq That Can’t Fly‘ he crafts a tale that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant, laying themes of cultural displacement, self-expression, and imagination into a touching narrative. His vision is unshakable. He conjures a cinematic-style experience, one that demands to be felt.

What makes Zeed’s approach remarkable is his ability to balance grounded realism with a dreamlike, almost mythical atmosphere. The intimate world he builds is tactile and textured – the setting is not merely a set but a living, breathing presence in the film, shaping the characters’ struggles and aspirations. And then he introduces the fantastical, allowing imagination to take flight through the eyes of his characters. The result is a narrative that feels both raw and poetic, a story that embraces the in-between spaces of reality and fantasy, tradition and reinvention. His direction is fluid yet meticulous, ensuring that every emotional beat lands flawlessly.

Under Zeed’s guidance, performances flourish, cinematography breathes, and editing sharpens the emotional impact. His work is confident, cinematic, and deeply human. Zeed is a filmmaker with something to say, and he says it beautifully.
