Asif Hasan is a writer with a background in factual storytelling and journalism for television. He’s worked for all the major broadcasters. His producing, directing and writing tv credits are diverse – ranging from undercover investigations for Panorama to Real Crime Documentary-Dramas. Through his work, he has gained an intimate knowledge of a diverse set of worlds, from frontline policing, and healthcare, to the world of exploited illegal immigrants. Given his factual background, he places a great deal of emphasis on authenticity. Asif’s overactive imagination and need to create character and stories developed early – being his only escape from a challenging childhood. He’s written a screenplay, two pilots, one of which was shortlisted, and another of which was longlisted for Thousand Films. Born in London, Asif has spent most of his adult life in the North – Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield. His mantra is, “Enjoy the journey. Commit 100% to the journey. Don’t sweat the outcome, it will look after itself.”
