Masud akhond
Hi,
I am Masud Akhond, a Swedish-Bengali filmmaker. I'm looking into the possibility to show the world the brutal and horrible conditions of many young girls in Bangladesh. The child prostitution is something real and devastating for many children. They are kidnapped and forced into this and taken advantage of by the system. I have made a documentary about the subject and part of it was shown on Swedish television (www.svt.se) 14th April 2012.
About Me
I always had passion for film; however due to responsibilities towards my family I could not pursue this at the beginning of my career. I worked as an IT project manager for 7 years in a Swedish company. Even though I enjoyed my work I was still missing something. It was a great job and I was chosen employee of the year twice. But my dream was to work in Filmmaking and that’s why I quit my career and started with film and media in 2007.
I have directed 2 TV dramas and one feature film in Bangladesh. The feature film was Written and Edited by me. I have worked for projects for Swedish TV channel “SVT”. I have workd with 6 documentary films for the channel and filmed many hours of news footage for the channel.I worked as an Assistant Directed under “Humayun Ahmed”, a legendary writer and director. He passed away in 2012 due to Cancer. I have performed as an actor in 20 TV dramas and 3 feature films.
