Testimonials

"Zakirah is a wonderful person to work with. I worked with her on a feature film project where she was my 1st assistant director.

She was definitely the best support I could have asked for. Zakirah is incredibly hardworking and organised. She works well in a team and has great people skills. She always makes sure that everyone around her feels supported and comfortable. She is a good listener and has amazing problem solving skills.

Thanks to her organisation and time-keeping skills, we had no complications and were always on schedule, despite how complex and intense the production was. I would definitely like to work with her again."

"I've worked with Zakirah on numerous occasions, both with her as Director and 1st AD.

As a Director She is very hard working and knows exactly what she wants to achieve on a project and how to get the best out of her cast and crew to enable her to create the best possible results for any project she undertakes.

As a 1st AD, Zakirah is very organised and does a great job of keeping things running on time and to schedule, she always anticipates problems that may occur and often helps to troubleshoot and solve whatever issues there may be whilst maintaining good relationships with cast and crew, I've seen Zakirah build positive relationships with everyone on set, from runners to producers, creating a friendly and productive working environment.

I look forward to working with Zakirah again in the future.
