Biography

Umar Farooq, also known as Umar John, is a visionary filmmaker, executive producer, and creative director with over two decades of experience in television, film, and digital media across Pakistan, the Middle East, and the United States.

As the founder of Hummingbird Film Studios Inc. and the Hollywood International Film Festival, Umar has consistently championed cross-cultural storytelling rooted in emotion, imagination, and social impact. His creative journey began as a graphic designer and art director in Islamabad, eventually leading major advertising campaigns, television dramas, and cinematic projects.

Known for transforming everyday stories into cinematic poetry, Umar brings a deeply spiritual lens to his work, inspired by his identity as a devout Muslim and admirer of Sufi philosophy. His creative mission is driven by the Quranic principle: "Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel" - "Allah alone is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs."

His acclaimed works include the Oscar-contending film "Angels Within", numerous short films, documentaries, and musical projects infused with cultural depth and emotional resonance.

In every frame, Umar stitches the ordinary with the extraordinary - inviting the world to see through a kaleidoscope of creativity, compassion, and conviction.
