NowPictures is not just a media entertainment production company, but a creative force that brings stories to life. Founded by visionary filmmaker Saalih Chaudhry in 2018, NowPictures officially took off in 2021 when Saalih teamed up with his business strategist Ausama Salim. From the very start, this indie powerhouse has focused on crafting gripping, narrative-driven short films that capture the rawness of modern life through an authentic, unfiltered lens.

These early projects weren’t just films—they were an artistic playground, where Saalih and Ausama honed their craft and discovered the true heart of NowPictures. Fast forward to today, and NowPictures has evolved into an Award Winning, multi-faceted collaborative production company. Not only have they leapt into the world of feature films, but they've also made waves in the commercial space, blending their cinematic vision with the demands of the commercial industry, as well as world renowned companies and creatives such as “Muslim Belal,” rapper and Hollywood director;“Tariq Jamil” world renowned Islamic Scholar; award winning chocolatier “Aneesh Popat”; powerful activist and speaker running for MP “Leanne Mohamad”; and Saudi commercial “John Hopkins Aramco Hospital” NowPictures’s first major international shoot.
