Director
Born in 1990, Muhammad Belaal Imran is a graduate of film studies from Iqra University Karachi. Completing his studies in 2017 and making his mark in the industry came side by side with the award winning travel film Arz-e-Pakistan which brought him credit as a cinematographer on international level for Pakistan from various countries like Turkey, Germany, Spain and India being the top ones crediting the master piece. Having a dream to shoot and produce content for a family oriented audience inspired him to write for his own projects that are ready to make a mark in film festivals. Nanu or Main (Grandfather and me) and Bas Ek Piyali Chai (Just a cup of tea) are the most recent works that Belaal has written himself. Being a filmmaker and visually inspired person he decided to shoot and write a short film “Nanu or Main” directed by Ali Sohail Jaura who believes that he did justice to his vision. Family Films being the production house he started with his friends is doing great as a company which produced all the great work Belaal has done with his amazing team. “We all have our talents and skills its just the perfect amount of polish we need to apply for making them shine” says Belaal.
