This is EyeCandy. It’s a home for big industry names, before they’ve become big industry names. These directors make music videos, commercials, short films, social content and everything in between.
We’re delighted to welcome Amelia Hashemi to our directing roster!
Amelia is a half Iranian, half English writer/director, hailing loudly and proudly from Leeds. Her background as a casting director comes to the fore in her work with authentic, heartfelt characters and beautifully observed, nuanced performances.
Amelia broke into the world of commercials with her campaign for Volkswagen, a series of 3 branded films highlighting VW’s partnership with the Motability Scheme. The films, each adroitly addressing a different disability, went on to screen at Cannes Lions and were nominated at the Campaign Big Awards.
She is currently developing her debut feature film with BBC Films and Parkville Pictures. This comes off the back of a string of critically acclaimed shorts. Her latest, ‘Night Out’, premiered at the BFI London Film Festival, picking up a nomination for the London Critics’ Circle award and winning Best Short at Leeds International Film Festival.
It’s a pleasure to have Amelia on board at MindsEye.
