Here are five of Asim Abbasi's most groundbreaking films and shows:
A story about long-lost love, Barzakh offers a blend of myth, mysticism, and profound human questions.
Asim’s debut feature film was chosen as Pakistan's official entry for Oscars. It broke away from conventional cinema, presenting a raw and emotional tale that took a realistic portrayal of relationships and the complexities of life.
The web series was the talk of the town when it released in 2020 as it followed four women who came together to form a secret detective agency, exposing the hypocrisy of society.
It is a dark comedy series that explores the life of a British-Pakistani Muslim doctor who gets turned into a vampire. The show brings out the perfect blend of humour and horror, creating a unique narrative that challenges stereotypes and addresses themes of identity and belonging.
Asim will direct an episode of the beloved Famous Five series, bringing his unique vision to this classic tale.
