I try to write what I'd love to watch
Zain Kamal Syed is an Indo Canadian engineer and screenwriter-director based out of Vancouver, Canada originally from Hyderabad, India. He moved to Canada in 2019 as a permanent resident. He's kind of a male Scheherazade of his time; He told his first story when he was 8. It was a story of a movie he hadn’t watched, to two of his classmates to escape their bullying for the day.
He's a graduate from InFocus Film School in Vancouver and has a certification from Sundance Rewriting Feature workshop. He has written TV pilots, features and shorts and worked on-set for multiple short films and a web series in various roles.
Some of his favorite films are: Amelie, Midnight in Paris, Tamasha, The lunch box, Kumbalangi Nights, Maheshinte Pratikaaram, The secret life of Walter Mitty, Silver Linings Playbook and Joker.
His goal is to write and direct stories that he'd love to watch in feature and short formats. His other hobbies include acting, singing, and playing Table Tennis and Pool.

Zain was so eager to write that even before he knew how to write a sentence when he was in upper kindergarten, he filled up his homework book with just cursive scribbling. The next day he quietly handed that book like everyone else to his teacher. When the teacher looked at it, she was shocked and scolded him before calling his class head teacher- Zain was one of her favorites. The class teacher just smiled and said don't do that again.
For what is your friend that you seek him with hours to kill. Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need but not your emptiness. - Khalil Gibran
