Brishkay Ahmed is a writer, director, and producer based in Canada. I've worked in content creation in Canada and Afghanistan for ten years.
Fatima In Kabul, my recent non-fiction web program, is a 2022 Canadian Screen Awards Nominee. My 2021 feature documentary, In the Rumbling Belly of Mother, won Outstanding Feature Film and Outstanding Producer awards at Reelworld Film Festival 2021. It was also nominated for a 2021 DGC award. I'm currently in production with co-producer Elizabeth Sanchez on the feature documentary PMDD a half-life and in development with Make Believe Media on Orginal Gamers.
You can find my content on CBC Gem, Amazon, Kanopy, RTA, Cinema Politica, Aljazeera, Java Films and Women Make Movies. I'm seeking connections to support the above projects and am interested in learning about alternative funding strategies to produce content.
As a DGC and WGC member, I'm also looking to put forth my talent as a director and writer and build relationships with producers and showrunners.
