About Candidate
My name is Ammar Obeid, a 31-year-old German Creative Director and content Creator and Actor with a relentless passion for storytelling and visual arts. With over eight years of experience in filmmaking and creative direction, I have worked across companies, cultural institutions, and independent projects, earning international recognition.
As well I’m a translator between english ,arabic , Japanese and German.
Notably, my short documentary Would You Play It Again? won Best Short Documentary at the Capitol Filmmakers Berlin Film Festival in 2023 and was showcased globally, including in Macau, China. In 2024, I served as a pre-selection jury member for the same festival. Currently, my solo show Kiosk 333 has been selected for the prestigious Whitefire Festival in Los Angeles—the world’s largest solo theater festival—where it will debut on March 22, 2025.
In 2024, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Screen Acting and Film Production from Plymouth University (St Mark and St John) through its Berlin branch at the Catalyst Institute for Arts and Technology. My professional trajectory includes:
Editor at DOSBOX Berlin, collaborating with Jihan El Tahri.
Location Manager, Director’s Assistant, and Photographer with Babelsberg Film Academy.
A fellowship with SINAT (2020–2021), where I spearheaded an ambitious project merging Japanese and Arabic cultures through film, music, and calligraphy, culminating in the creation of the world’s first Audio Comic Book.
Fluent in German, English, Japanese, and Arabic, I bring a global perspective and a profound understanding of cross-cultural storytelling. My strengths lie in leading diverse teams and delivering innovative projects from pre-production to post-production, with a sharp focus on aligning creative vision with brand identity and audience expectations.
The dynamic and multicultural creative industry resonates deeply with my vision especially with my Japanese oriented culture and my German culture as well . I am eager to contribute as Creative Director at Action Group, crafting compelling narratives and transformative visual experiences that elevate your brand and captivate audiences.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my expertise can drive creative excellence and commercial success for your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to collaborating to achieve exceptional results in Dubai’s thriving creative market.
