Co-Founder & Director
Aadil Dhalech
Aadil’s story is a testament to following your gut. A half-Thai, half-Indian director with a childhood spent between Thailand, India, and 80s South Africa, he found his escape in movies. He first tried to follow a conventional path, studying medical science (to his parents' brief delight) and then psychology, before finally surrendering to his true calling in advertising.
After a celebrated, award-winning decade as an agency Creative, he took his biggest risk: leaving a stable career to pursue directing, right as he became a father. This leap of faith paid off, defining his fearless approach. His agency-honed knack for comedy and performance, combined with a cinematic eye, makes him a dynamic and insightful director, and sometimes Executive Producer.
