FILM MAKING
They say one person can have many talents, and I’m living proof of that. Being an artist doesn’t mean being confined to just one form of art. For me, storytelling through the lens has always been my greatest passion. Cinematography captured my heart in the late 2000s, and I started my journey as a cameraman, working my way up to director of photography. It wasn’t easy, but I took chances and pushed myself, and soon, the films I worked on were being showcased at film festivals worldwide.
I’m incredibly proud to have been part of events like Festival de Cannes, Toronto International Film Festival, and Giffoni Film Festival. Representing myself locally at the Ajyal Film Festival was also a significant milestone. To further my career, I took courses globally at the Global Cinematography Institute and became an ASC member.
But the journey doesn’t end there. I’m currently working on my directing skills, and the excitement for what’s next keeps me going.
DRIFTING
You might wonder why I chose drifting as a career. For me, it’s about more than just the thrill of every race or the precision of each drift. It’s the profound sense of accomplishment that comes with every cheer from the fans and the joy of pushing the limits. Drifting has been on the rise, and seeing it gain regional recognition has only fueled my passion. In Qatar, where cars are more than just a mode of transport, they’re a source of immense excitement, and the thrill of mastering them at high speeds is irresistible. Embracing this passion and turning it into a career wasn’t just a choice—it was a bold step toward my dreams.
Growing up in a traditional and loving family, I faced my share of scepticism when I decided to pursue this dream. It took immense courage to step out of my comfort zone and follow my heart. I knew that if I wanted to build a legacy and inspire my children, I had to believe in myself and pursue my goals with unwavering determination. It’s this journey of courage and conviction that I’m excited to share with you all.
THE PASSION
We live in a world where passion opens us up to endless possibilities on the distant horizon. It provides us with an adrenaline boost, instilling the belief that all our dreams can become reality once we set our minds to them. For Yasser, this passion has not only resulted in significant personal growth but has also improved his social skills. He has had the opportunity to meet and connect with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for drifting, forging strong relationships along the way. This has fueled his determination to reach out to the younger generations and raise awareness about drifting, as well as the importance of pursuing one’s passions fearlessly, without being bound by societal norms, while always prioritizing safety and responsibility. On a daily basis, Yasser strives to convey the message of embracing passion in all aspects of life, especially in the realm of cars. This constant adrenaline boost is not only exhilarating but also enhances the quality of his life and the lives of those around him.
