Luís Hindman is a BIFA-nominated writer/director of South Asian and Northern Irish descent.

His work was first recognised in 2015 when he received the 'One to Watch' award from Into Film, sponsored by the BFI and EON Productions. The jury included Sir Alan Parker, David Yates, and Peter Kosminsky.

In the following years, Luís primarily worked as a director in music videos, most notably directing the UKMVA-nominated 'Permanent Damage' project for Joesef.

MAGID / ZAFAR marks his return to narrative filmmaking, made possible by the BFI & Film4 Future Takes scheme. The film had its world premiere in competition at the 2025 BFI London Film Festival. It also received a BIFA nomination for Best British Short Film.

He is currently developing his debut feature film with BFI & Film4.
