Featured at International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2008 for his critically acclaimed short films, ‘K-Hole’ and ‘Teddy &, I’, Zahir’s ‘Fly By Night’ produced by Perin Petrus and Leonard Tee tells about a group of taxi drivers and small-time extortionists who are forced to escalate their criminal activities to pay off debts.
