Site engineer
Civil engineering on four mega construction projects. Structure, scale and deadlines.
Mynul Alam
Video creator & engineer
I am a video creator and documentary filmmaker from Bangladesh who believes every corner of the world has a story worth telling.
I am Mynul Alam, a full-time filmmaker and traveller with five years of experience in cinematic storytelling and documentary production. Before entering filmmaking I worked as a civil engineer and gained experience on four mega construction projects, which built my understanding of structure, design and real-world development.
Today I combine that engineering background with cinematic storytelling to create construction documentaries, travel films, tourism content and commercial visuals. Since 2021 I have been working professionally across Bangladesh and the Maldives through my creative brand, Film By Shuvo.
Timeline How I got here
Site helmet to camera bag.
Engineering first, then a phone and a one-way ticket, then a kit that never fully unpacks.
First films
Started the channel with a phone, editing at night and posting stories nobody had filmed.
Full time
Cameras, drone and a full grade suite. Brand and resort films across Bangladesh and the Maldives.
Documentary
Longer form, deeper access, more time with the people who make a place worth visiting.
