A conversation with Pam Nasr, New York-based Lebanese filmmaker, stylist and art director. In this episode, we discuss the importance of narrative in fashion commercials, what it means to be both in front of and behind the camera, the stress of self-branding, the problem with concept-led projects, the precarious state of the gig economy and the cultural importance of Sex & The City. 

Speaker bio: Born and raised in Dubai, Pam moved to Beirut after graduating from London College of Fashion with a degree in fashion styling and photography. She later moved to New York City and pursued an MA in film, and recently made her debut film Clams Casino, which I have had the pleasure of screening on a few occasions. Her visual practice deeply entwines fashion and film, where she can be found both behind and in front of the camera. She most recently worked on Versace Jeans Couture’s 2020 Holiday campaign which she directed remotely from New York.
