From a young age, Yazan Al Assadi has always shown signs of passion for film and acting. Unlike his peers at school who would opt to play games or watch cartoons during their free time, Yazan would rather watch movies. So his parents enrolled him in a summer camp where he first discovered his acting skills.
“I had my first role in the well-known Syrian TV show “Boka’at Dawo” (Spotlight) in 2005. After that, I got a few smaller roles on Syrian TV then and started to shoot and edit the videos until I got enough experience to start my role as a director,” Yazan says.
Yazan studied the Bachelor of Art (Hons) Digital Film and Television programme at Limkokwing University. Today, he is the Film Director, Producer, and Co-founder at Flick – a creative agency that manages, produces and creates all your content and digital platforms fully, creatively, passionately done in-house.
