SC. 01 — INT. TRADING FLOOR — DAY

The road
less travelled

His first scripts were pitch decks. Armed with a postgraduate degree in financial management, Mudassir began his professional life in investment banking — J.P. Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, ABN Amro. The corporate world offered success and stability. Storytelling offered purpose.

He chose purpose — and the road from the trading floor to the film set shaped the storyteller he is today.
