• Testimonials

  Az is a fantastically creative and highly motivated individual. Whatever he is working on, you can bet it's going to be great. — Aviv Katz, Designer —

  Az is not only an incredible creative force, he is also one of the most pleasant and level-headed people I've had the chance to work with. His focus and wonderful imagination is always coupled with a great sense of humour and passion for what he is doing. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Az again on another project. — Natalie Higashi, Producer —

  I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Azhur on several film projects. He is full of ideas and creative energy, which never fail to inspire and motivate those working with him. As a director he is always open to ideas and suggestions yet able to maintain a clear vision of the project as a whole. Calm under pressure and real team player. Highly recommended! — Matthew Cooke, Cinematographer —

  Az is amazing to work with, calm, organised and focused on the idea he is working on. Always a pleasure to have film-makers who work to a certain level of quality and respect for the crew and the project, and he keeps doing more. — Tony Ukpo, Writer/Director —

  I hired Azhur to be a director for my past film slate in 2010. He is also working with me and my Production company for our upcoming 2011/2012 slate. He is an intelligent and creative director, he gets the job done on brief, he also adds in some approachable and human qualities to his films. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any future work. — James Boyle, Producer, Park Road Pictures —

  Azhur Saleem was a student at The London Film School from January 2004 and graduated 2007 with an MA in Filmmaking. He was always totally committed and a credit to himself and the School at all times. He is a very talented young man who always gives the best of himself both professionally and socially. An asset on any film crew. — Chrissy Bright, London Film School —

  Azhur conceived and directed the 50th anniversary trailer for the London Film School, delivering a highly creative, ambitious and professionally produced film. — Kate Hughes, Head of Marketing, The London Film School —

  Working for Azhur was like drinking an ice cold lemonade on a hot summers day, it couldn't be more refreshing. He is both one of the most creative and fun persons I have ever worked with and I would go miles to be next to him again on another shoot. — Øystein Essèn Lundstrøm, Cinematographer —

  Azhur is a dedicated and imaginative director who is not afraid to listen to ideas from others that can enhance his creative vision. It has been my privilege to collaborate with him on a number of writing projects and consider him my "go to" person to visualise my concepts. — Paul Adams, Writer —
