Umair Nasir Ali

TVC Director at Num Films
Karachi, Pakistan

About me

I am Umair, a TVC director and the proud founder of my brainchild, Num Films. Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to crafting moving narratives with impeccable precision. Many noteworthy TV ads bear my signature, breaking through clutter and setting trends.

My ideas stem from my early passion for classic literature and post-classical cinema. Influenced by Urdu literary masters like Krishan Chandar, Shafiq Ur Rahman, and Qurutulain Haider, I discovered the mesmerizing world where stories intertwine with images, creating something larger than life - cinema! My years at Pakistan's first film school, the National College of Arts in Lahore, not only honed my filmmaking skills but also deepened my appreciation for popular and traditional arts and culture.

Professionally active for over fifteen years, collaborating with Pakistan's finest film and production talents, and delivering in fast-paced, competitive environments have merely marked the beginning of my ambitious journey. "Nayab" stands as my first feature-length project, raising the bar for gripping narrative in Pakistan. This film isn't just destined for a worldwide release; it's also making a significant impact right here in Pakistan.
