Morshedul Islam

Morshedul Islam is a pioneer of independent filmmaking back in Bangladesh. As an unknown, he taught himself the craft and shot outside of the studio system, without big stars and support. Today, he is well-known internationally and is a big figure back in his home country.

32. Agami aka Time Ahead (1982)
Chaka aka The Wheel (1993)

Had the honor of meeting the man in person back in 2009 when we were at Dhaka, Bangladesh for our project. Bad hair day and a ugly red NTU shirt, guess that's why NTU is constantly losing out to NUS. We have bad corp comm and poor fashion sense.

A confession to make, I dozed off while watching Chaka.
