Mira El Bacha

Welcome! I am a 1st AD based in East London. I have worked as an AD across continents, collaborating with brands in Italy, the UAE, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.

You can find a full list of my brand collaborations and AD work below: they range from the Roundhouse in London, to the Cineteca di Bologna in Italy, to the Abu Dhabi Media Company in the UAE.

I am currently open to new work.

Organised. I keep everything on track while making sure creativity has the space it needs to thrive. I have managed schedules for teams of over 50 people without a hitch. Every film I have AD-ed has wrapped up on time, and with satisfied creative teams.

Inclusive. I have been an LGBT activist since I was fifteen, as an queer Arab myself. I have worked in anti-racist advocacy, and I am trained in disability inclusion. My work is about listening to the needs of everyone on set and making sure every crew member is valued and motivated.

Passionate. I love being part of this industry. I have taught film, studied film, and made films since 2014. Films are the most powerful tool for inspiring and connecting people: my commitment to this field is unwavering.
