About Farooq Ahmad

I am a storyteller and I can tell the same story via a hashtag, a sentence, a paragraph, an article, or a book. I might use the visuals (animation, photographs, video, graphic images, etc.) to supplement the written words or let the images speak on their own. At times a spoken word, the ambient noise or silence is way more powerful than visuals or written words. I include only those elements (audio, video or text) in my story that simplify the MESSAGE that I am trying to deliver. Creative and organized media professional with over 14 years of experience. Produced, directed and edited numerous projects from concept, development through to the final production.
