Several young filmmakers are now taking Bangladeshi content to the international arena, and Nuhash Humayun is one of them. With drama projects such as ‘Hotel Albatross’, the short film ‘700 Taka’, web series ‘Pet Kata Shaw’, his recent short film 'Moshari' and his upcoming project for the international OTT platform Hulu, Nuhash's career is gaining momentum towards global success.

After the success of 'Moshari' at two 'Oscar qualifying’ film festivals (HollyShorts Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival), audiences in Bangladesh have been wondering where and when to see the film, and answering that question, Nuhash told UNB that the short film is going to be available for Bangladeshi viewers in October.

Regarding the work plan and experience, he said, "Interest of our viewers always sparks inspiration for any content creator. I have been blessed with that interest and our audiences might not have to wait too long for ‘Moshari’, which I hope everyone will be able to see in October.”

“Working on this project has been really different for me. To succeed, I had to wait ten years. The idea for the plot first came to me ten years ago, but at the time there was no support since I dared to experiment with such fiction. I still needed a lot of creative support when I started developing ‘Moshari’, but I managed to finish it. Additionally, I've received a lot of reaction from audiences abroad. Now I’m eagerly waiting for Bangladeshi audiences’ reaction.”

The news that Nuhash Humayun has created content for the international OTT platform Hulu broke the local internet, while the conversation regarding ‘Moshari’ was still going on. The completed content, which features numerous well-known Bangladeshi actors, is already in Hulu’s pipeline; however, due to the embargo till the official promotion from Hulu, Nuhash is currently keeping a lot of information about the project private.

Talking about the unnamed Hulu project, Nuhash said, "Hulu has produced some exclusive content on the occasion of Halloween this year, and one of those projects is made by me. It will air on Halloween in October. It's a single content, and nothing to disclose more than that at this moment. After the official announcement of Hulu, everyone will know the details.”

The content was produced in both Bangla and English, with Nuhash serving as both the director and screenwriter. Nuhash got signed by the Hollywood agencies Anonymous Content and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) earlier this year. Through these two agencies, he got connected with Hulu.

Speaking on being associated with Hulu's project, Nuhash told UNB, “After evaluating some of my works, they gave me this project. When I went to Hulu's office in Los Angeles, I was a bit nervous. However, the meeting was quite positive. They appreciated all my plans, and that raised my confidence.”

Nuhash always likes to experiment with his fiction projects and loves to take challenges along with the obstacles.

Regarding whether he gives importance to the audience's choice or international awards when it comes to stories, Nuhash said, "It depends, but I have never really thought about it. I always wanted to experiment with my work.”

“When the short film '700 taka' became popular, many asked to make something more like that. I did not want to stick with that. I want to experiment, and make mistakes, and I want to learn from there. Another thing is that the audience liked the works which I made as my experimental projects, one of which is the web series 'Pet Kata Shaw’,’’ Nuhash told UNB.

Just within five years in the industry, Nuhash Humayun has made his own star mark in the boulevard of new Bangladeshi content. His unique storytelling has become popular and appreciated by the audience. With his upcoming projects — ‘Moshari’ and the unnamed Hulu content, Nuhash is thrilled to enthral the audiences once again with his brilliance.
