Azeem Khan is an award-winning, visionary director-producer-writer. His debut feature film, "Killer Director", an original horror-thriller set in East London in the present day, will be released in 2026.

Born in Peshawar, Pakistan, Azeem moved to England at the age of five. Growing up in East London, Azeem opted for a career as a film-maker in his teens and graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University's Film & Television School.

His debut as a professional film director was for a network television Pepsi commercial for advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, followed by another TV advert for Whirlpool, through J. Walter Thompson's affiliated ad agency in Karachi, Pakistan. Azeem was also producer on over thirty other television commercials, as well as copy-writing a LU Gala Biscuit commercial that was so popular it ran for over 15 years on prime time network television in Pakistan, virtually unchanged in its concept.

On return to the UK, Azeem produced hard-hitting documentary films for the BBC and ITV, working on the Synchro arts series, Black Britain, First Sight, the BBC1 Ramadan series, Inside Out, as well as being part of the team at leading independent TV production companies such as Brook Lapping, Roger Bolton, Baby Cow, Partners in Production, Mountain of Light and others.

Azeem has produced, written and directed many short drama films and documentaries, including the award-winning drama "Open Secrets", starring BAFTA nominee Saeed Jaffrey on mental health stigma, and the critically acclaimed psychological thriller "Disorder". His novel "The Nature of Flames" was published by Chipmunka in 2011, and is available on Amazon Books. Altogether, Azeem has written five original feature length film scripts.

Azeem lives in London, England with his wife Atika and their twin children.
