  • Description

    Description

    I was the director of the Alliance Française in Islamabad. Born in Pakistan, I lived in Europe. Based in Paris, I worked in the film industry as a director and producer. I also created and directed numerous international film and music festivals. I also direct and produce my own films. To learn more about my work, you can search for my name, Abel Monem, on Google.

    I recently moved to Islamabad after working on a project in Karachi for a year and a half. I spent three years in Vietnam before coming to Pakistan. I currently live in Islamabad, where I had my house built.

    I love nature and enjoy interacting with people and cultures.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I work in the music and film industry. If you'd like, I can discuss filmmaking, production, directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and more. I can also explain how to create a project or manage a business related to art and culture. I have also run a surimi factory in Karachi, another area I work in. You can also learn about the processing of seafood, fish, and surimi.

    We can also work on personal development, self-confidence, acting, and more. I've lived in many cultures and can share my experiences and how I've learned about them.

    I've learned to cook; if you're interested, we can cook together.

    I can show you around the area on weekends, drive you, and so on.

    I've had a house built here. The construction is finished, and I'm just putting the finishing touches on it. I'm looking for people who could help me furnish the house and maintain the garden, as I have a large space for growing vegetables, etc. Of course, there will also be some general maintenance work. A bit of painting is needed...

    I can talk about film, whether as a director or producer, and share my knowledge about the subject and film festivals. We could go on mountain excursions and share the costs. We could explore our interests together.

    I love cooking and enjoying delicious homemade meals, whether European or Asian. I like everything and I cook everything.

    I'm a pretty easy-going person, and I enjoy life, meeting people, and learning from them.

    Feel free to do whatever you like at my place: listen to music, cook, etc. You'll feel right at home!

    I've lived in Europe, North America, Asia, and North Africa. I speak few languages; perhaps I could teach you one or help you practice the one you're interested in. I'm also very keen to learn new languages; you could teach me yours too!
