FAROOK QAIS, pronounced “case,” is a British-born Muslim of South Asian heritage. Having started creating characters from the age of 5, Farook’s stories stem from his life experiences with a common theme of explosive emotive drama. He has written novels, but his strength is writing film and TV.
Farook’s won the feature category of Roadmap Writers' flagship “JumpStart” competition with “Hi, Libido.” He has also been selected as part of the TV Foundation’s New Writers Collective with sit-com “Burac’s House.”
Outside of screenwriting Farook’s all about “the game.” Football, NBA, NHL, NFL; where’s Farook? He’s watching the game.

Based in the UK, Farook was raised by a single mother and a non-traditional family. With brown skin and in a diverse school setting he made many friends – who now range between Doctors to criminals.

Farook studied Creative Industries at the University of Greenwich. He has placed in six screenwriting competitions, as well as winning "JumpStart." His brand is that of emotive storytelling; drama, relationships, belonging and life lessons.

Farook's characters mirror his empathy. He writes to share narratives that resonate with authenticity and capture the richness of his own journey. Read Less
