Aaqilull Qhaeer
Deputy Media
Directs and edits productions, writes creative briefs, and supervises the media team's interns.
About
Aaqilull Qhaeer is AICREATIVV's Deputy Media. He comes from hands-on production and is now training in creative direction under Amal Osmera, learning to ask why an idea should exist before deciding how to shoot it. A good-looking video, he has learned, is not automatically a good answer to a brief.
He joined as an intern in 2023, filming for the National Theatre Festival Brunei and working as assistant camera on BDCB's 40th National Day coin video. He directed and co-edited the behind-the-scenes film for BDCB's Usinwise, directed the team's 2025 wrap-up video with Alimin Affendi, and in 2026 directed and edited the Frost Haus main video. He has also written creative briefs for First Emporium and T4, and practised creative direction on a project for UNN.
In 2026 he was a guest judge at CCCT's COSMO Spark showcase. He also supervises media intern Selene, helping her let go of perfectionism.
