A Creative Director who builds worlds before anyone else knows they exist.

From a childhood behind a camera on an award-winning short film, to building Wayout Network — a space & science visual journal — from nothing, to directing content that reached 100 million people worldwide. The through-line has always been the same: storytelling that stops you cold.

Based in Istanbul. Fluent in Arabic, English, and Turkish. Equally fluent in the language of images.

A music video
shot in a single day.

BÜNNI — Sleep · 2025

"Sleep" is a song by BÜNNI — a Danish/Turkish artist whose music lives somewhere between atmosphere and feeling. Shot across Istanbul in a single day with no crew, no call sheet, and no plan. Just two people, a camera, and the city at dusk. Every frame shot, cut, and colored by Abdullah Albarzawi.

Alaadas
العدس

A personal documentary series. Stories that deserve to be told — in the visual language of Johnny Harris, the depth of Kurzgesagt, and a perspective that only comes from living between cultures. The project that's been waiting.

A Short Film
YAMAN — A Short Film by Amer Albarzawi
Watch the film

A film by my brother, Amer Albarzawi. I was lucky to work on it right beside him — shooting, editing, grading color, figuring it all out frame by frame. It's where I fell for filmmaking and started building the eye I bring to every project today.
