YASMIN SULEIMAN
Producer
Yasmin is producer lady boss and gets this right from the many years of organising hairpins to elephants of production and visual effects. With a background as a graphic designer, from designing a world of still imagery, she was hurled into the world of the moving picture, lo and behold, she found herself buried in excel sheets, too many phone calls, meetings, and arranging for other people to have fun making cool pictures and loving it all. She intends to make more and more, bigger, awesome and wonderful moving pictures for the world.

Really… With a collection of over 180 countries’ currency, this man knows his cash. With a pretty illustrious career spanning over 30 years of banking from KL to Tokyo, naturally, Azzam is our keeper of the bottom line. Through it all he never gave up his love of… Comics! Marvel in particular, and model tanks are also a passion. All this and yet he finds time to balance books, create innovative financing schemes and find fresh new ways to put it all together, when it seems an impossible task.

Born and raised in Connecticut, America. Jay spent more time in the field, learning the reality of the business, instead of burying his nose in books. Shortly thereafter, he got involved in the broadcasting biz and never looked back. Conceptor, writer, children’s book author, film and commercial director, screenwriter, musician, actor, cop (yes, a cop) – the guy has done it all, in a career that’s spanned over 40 years. He’s even been nominated for a regional EMMY® award for one of his short films.
