Ghezal Omar
- Director

Ghezal Omar has a knack for mixing her love for storytelling with her Afghan heritage. She kicked off her journey in cinema by co-writing and co-directing "Bawaar," an Afghan film that shines a light on being an Afghan woman, and "Afghan X," a documentary that digs into the heart of being Afghan American. For Ghezal, these weren't just projects; they were her way of connecting with her roots and sharing those stories with everyone.
Through graphic novels, she found a whole new way to tell stories like ".357 Magnum Opus," "Pimp Killer," and "Pagan Valley." Each book pulls readers into worlds made vivid with her words. Through the lens of a camera or the pages of a graphic novel, she's been lucky to tell stories that matter and stick with the audience.
