Meet
Zam Salim
Writer, Director
Zam Salim is a writer-director who made his feature film debut with comedy Up There. Zam was supported as a Breakthrough Brit by Danny Boyle and executive producer Hilary Bevan Jones. He also met with Company Pictures’ John Yorke and Big Talk Productions’ Nira Park to discuss television projects.
Zam says: “The highlight so far has been meeting folk I’ve long admired like Danny Boyle. Being able to talk things through in an honest, unguarded manner has given me a real insight in to how things work.”
