I’m Abbas Amer, a media production team leader and senior video editor based in Baghdad. I trained in cinema, with an MFA in Cinema and TV Arts, and have spent more than six years cutting ads, campaigns and educational content.

Today I lead the media production team at BALY, where we shipped 800+ ad videos in 2026 across Taxi, Food and Cards. My job is to keep the creative quality high while the volume grows: clear briefs, fast reviews and systems the whole team can run on.

I’m also leading our shift to AI-assisted production, from consistent brand characters to full campaigns made without a shoot.

WHAT I BRING TO A TEAM

Production teams that ship at scale, without losing the craft.
