60 second broadcast emergency appeal I edited while working in-house with British Res Cross. It was a fast turnaround edit which involved sourcing appropriate video from British Red Cross field offices, Reuters and Getty. Working across the departments of Fundraising and Communications, I drafted the voiceover, edited the video and graphics and prepared video for broadcast specs.
Amina's Story is a short film I directed, filmed and edited for the British Red Cross. It is a service awareness-raising film that uses dramatisation to recount a true story of reconnecting loved ones and bringing hope to a desperate situation.

One of a series of broadcast adverts I edited for the biggest fundraising campaign in the calendar of the international charity, Muslim Aid.
This TV advert was produced as part of the annual Winter Campaign of the international charity Muslim Aid. Every year, the charity works with partners in the UK to support people who are sleeping rough, and the elderly who are particularly at risk during the coldest months. There are two TV adverts for this campaign, each highlighting the respective focus.

Music video 'Hayati' (Beloved) I filmed and edited for the artist Ramzi. Hayati tells the story of a man who sees the woman he loves from afar not being treated the way he knows she ought to be.
Across Borders: a story of hope is a short film I directed, filmed and edited for the NGO Muslim Aid as part of their child support programme. The film tells the story of Jaki, who supports a child, Islam, living in Gaza; her motivation and hopes for the future of her sponsored child. Here we see the moving moment Jaki sees, for the first time, a video of Islam going about his daily life, thanks in no small part to Jaki’s sponsorship.
A short, introductory film for the Epilepsy Society. I filmed this as part of a series of Epilepsy Society films, raising awareness of the organisation and its goals.
A short, light-hearted promo I filmed and edited for Amaliah.com looking at the most common questions people have for Muslims regarding Ramadan.
