"Plus'damore" explores the delicate balance between heartache, friendship, and the innate resilience of the human spirit.

Zafar Mehdi

Zafar's journey is a testament to the transformative power of embracing one's true calling. Initially pursuing architecture, he soon discovered his innate talent for visual storytelling. Balancing his architectural career with his burgeoning passion, Zafar dedicated weekends to creating videos and refining his editing skills.

The realization that his heart lay in filmmaking prompted Zafar to leave architecture behind. Seeking mentorship at "The House on the Clouds," a renowned wedding filmmaking company, he mastered the art of crafting emotionally resonant narratives. This skill expanded into personal travel projects, interweaving cultures, and emotions into evocative stories.

Driven by a fascination with fashion and human emotions, Zafar's lens captured the essence of his subjects. From the streets of France to the landscapes of Italy and Turkey, he evolved into a multifaceted filmmaker – cinematographer, editor, writer, and director.

Zafar's films echo with authenticity, portraying the intricate threads of the human experience. His journey from architecture to visionary filmmaking exemplifies the profound impact of pursuing one's true passion.
