Malik Basso

As a writer, director and producer, I work on films, drama series, documentaries, and commercials for leading broadcasters and platforms, such as the BBC, Channel 4, PBS, Al Jazeera, Amazon Prime, Black Entertainment Television and TRT. I have over 25 years of experience in the film and television industry, spanning across various genres, formats, and markets. I have been honoured with several awards for my work, including the BBC Talent Award for my first fiction film, based on a story by Rumi, the ‘Best Film’ Award at the 48 Hour Film Project, and the Award of Merit at the Festival of Hollywood as well as the Muslim Writers Award for 'Best Screenplay', received at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre in London.

My core competencies include writing, directing, and producing original and engaging content that appeals to diverse and international audiences. I have a passion for storytelling and a keen eye for visual and narrative quality. I have also developed strong communication and collaboration skills, working with talented and creative teams across different cultures and locations in Europe, Africa and Asia. Some of the projects I am most proud of are the smash hit Spanish drama series 'Los Hombres de Paco', where I worked as a writer alongside 'Money Heist’ show runner Alex Pina, my story and production work on the documentary ‘Iconic Albums: Shine' about British singer-songwriter Estelle for Channel 5 (UK), and the Amazon Prime documentary ‘A Traveller’s Guide to Muslim Granada’, which I wrote and directed.

Ahmed Peerbux

I am a producer and director with a passion for telling powerful human stories and exploring pressing social issues through documentary and factual drama. I have recently finished producing a premium feature documentary for a major global streamer with Rogan Productions and am a 2024 Breakthrough Leader and BAFTA Connect recipient. My recent single, Humza: Forgiving the Unforgivable (BBC1), won an RTS Award.

I have extensive experience building trust and lasting relationships with sensitive sources and hard-to-reach communities, and I often work with vulnerable and marginalised people, including children and those experiencing trauma, bereavement and PTSD. I always bring journalistic rigour, meticulous research and excellent editorial instinct to a project.

Sam Sirajuddin Cousins

My skills are mainly in the technical aspects of film-making. Having worked in the Sound Department for TV and Film for over twenty years, my knowledge of production from "A" Category Feature Films and TV Series to commercials and documentary films is comprehensive. I've learned above all to be flexible, professional and direct at all times when on the job.

My extensive experience on the crew and "people" side of the camera allows me to build trust quickly and make sure the day-to-day human aspects of film-making are taken care of.

From setting camera angles, charging batteries and assuring accurate timecode to making sure tea is being made and a steady supply of Digestive Biscuits are on offer (other biscuits are available), my responsibilities generally go un-noticed but they are all vital to the smooth running of any size or shape of production.
