Idriss Assoumanou

Idriss joined Upstart as a Voice Contributor eight years ago. He also joined our pool of young advocates for Arts Award and has been highly involved in many areas of our work over the years, including filming or starring in multiple films. He currently works on various commissions and as a co-trainer.

He is a freelance film maker, editor and producer working on and supporting a range of film & arts education projects; including training groups in using film equipment. He has worked extensively with Birmingham based organisations and can usually be found somewhere near a camera or edit suite.

His aim is to produce more films with diverse and unique stories about those who sometimes don’t get a voice to tell their own stories in their own way, and be as creative as possible and help others follow their creative passions.
