Hi, I am Abodid. I
love ramen.
make films.
write.
photograph.
make art.
design.
love mushrooms.

I’m a London-based filmmaker and multidisciplinary creative working across film, photography, writing, and digital experiences.

With a background in visual storytelling and creative direction, I’ve led end-to-end productions—from music videos for VH1 India to brand films for global and independent brands. My work spans across commercial, editorial, and cultural spaces, with collaborations including Budweiser, Wieden+Kennedy Delhi, Royal College of Art London, Flat Time House, Educate Girls, Pursuit of Portraits NYC, and more.

I’ve also supported institutions and galleries in producing exhibitions, graduation shows, and immersive installations. At the heart of my practice is a deep interest in emotion-driven storytelling, thoughtful design, and the possibilities at the intersection of art and technology.

I’m currently open to creative collaborations, commissions, and roles where I can contribute across concept, direction, and execution—especially in projects that prioritize authenticity, culture, and impact.

Testimonials

Abodid's thoughtful and innovative approach towards producing the brand film for Hermosa was highly professional. From creating the perfect visual references to helping the entire team envision the intricacies of the project to leading a skilled and proactive film crew; Abodid made sure the visual storytelling of the film was aptly aligned to the brand's voice. I look forward to working with him again and recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and creative mind on board.

Pranjal Agrawal, CEO, Hermosa Design Studio, India
I've had the pleasure of working with Abodid on various commissioned and collaborative video projects. I've always been inspired by Abodid's innovative and creative approach to how he brings life to every assignment. His work is meticulous, thorough and thoughtful; a quality that I highly appreciate. We've worked closely on several video projects for Pursuit of Portraits. Abodid has not only created stellar videos but has always elevated the brand voice, visual storytelling and overall look and feel! I recommend Abodid for any and all creative pursuits! If there's a hunch about direction, great aesthetic and delivery time-crunch, Abodid gets it!


Saunak Shah, Creative Director based in Newyork
Abodid and his team have literally been a breath of fresh air to work with. From the very beginning, Abodid sent a personal video of him breaking down the budget options and rates. This made it so easy to decide on the style of the video I wanted. He and his team were so professional and they stayed in communication giving me updates. My lyric video turned out to be so awesome and I am so happy with it. I will definitely be working with Abodid again.
