About the Director

Adnan Nassari finds his pure joy in idea development, scriptwriting, and content creation. He has mastered these fields with over two decades of study, research, and analysis. His efforts have yielded two live-action film treatments, an animation film script, and three short scripts. Intrigued by directing, he expanded his skills in image production, starting as a graphic designer in 1997. He has worked professionally in photography, editing, VFX, filming, and composites to enhance his directing vision. After returning to Iran in 2009, he established Afagh Pictures, with the content production department as the inaugural department under his leadership.

Aisha Al-Jaidah’s professional animation career began in 2010 at Al Jazeera Children’s Channel as a senior animation producer, where she animated the first animated children’s series by a local in Qatar. Supported by a scholarship from the Supreme Education Council of Qatar, she was the first Qatari citizen to earn a BA Hons in Illustration & Animation from Kingston University London. Motivated by this achievement, Aisha Al-Jaidah established her own animation company, Blue Penguin Animation, to showcase Qatari creativity and inspiration.
