Hungry Man has added filmmaker Iqbal Ahmed to its roster for worldwide representation spanning commercials, branded content and music videos.
With a passion for finding humanity and authentic emotion in every project, Ahmed directs cinematic and emotional stories that straddle the line between the intimate and the epic. As a film, commercial, and music video director, Ahmed has seen his work receive over 300 million views, garner Vimeo Staff Picks, as well as get featured in NOWNESS, DAZED, Vice, Directors Notes, Booooooom, and The Atlantic. He boasts a list of clients and collaborators including Nike, Adidas, Google, Spotify, Pinterest, Facebook, H&M, Viacom, Snapchat, Microsoft, Nixon and Walmart.

Ahmed was a 2021 Commercial Directors Diversity Program (CDDP) Fellow and has been recognized with awards from numerous film festivals.
Caleb Dewart, managing partner at Hungry Man, said, “Iqbal’s depth as a filmmaker is what gets us excited. Telling honest stories with a cinematic eye is a true gift and Iqbal has it. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious and his relentlessness and intelligence are an inspiration. It’s one thing to light up a room with your energy. It’s another thing to light up a room and have something to say.”
Ahmed said, “Signing with a legendary company like Hungry Man is a dream. I’ve been a fan of their work for ages – it has consistently been culture-defining. To join such a talented roster of directors is humbling and inspiring. I’ve been warmly welcomed into the family, and I can’t wait to get started and to tell visual and emotional stories with them.”
