Iftekhar Ahmed Rasel

I’m Iftekhar Ahmed Rasel, a filmmaker from Dhaka who believes that every frame is a chance to make someone feel SOMETHING! My journey began in 2017 as an assistant director for advertising, working on over 100 campaigns for clients like Grameenphone, Airtel, Robi, TECNO, BRAC, and many more. It was there that I learned my craft—frame by frame, brief by brief. In 2020, I had the opportunity to assist in a story that resonated deeply with people—“Shesh Ta Shobai Jane” for Close Up’s Kache Ashar Oshomapto Golpo series, and “Ei Muhurte: One Piece Made, Karigor Is Dead,” a Chorki Original. By 2022, I had stepped behind the camera as a commercial director. With a sharp attention to detail, unwavering vision, and relentless passion for filmmaking, one of our passion projects, DevsStream: Fifa Worldcup Qatar, not only went viral but also became a game-changer, resonating with the younger generation and earning its place on Ads of the World and Ads of the Brands, forever shifting the way I approach filmmaking. I believe in details. In having a clear vision. In staying curious. And most importantly, I believe in creating work that feels truly honest—on screen and off.
