Bangladeshi travel and documentary filmmaker Ashraful Tushar has emerged as one of the most promising young voices in visual storytelling, combining artistry, social impact, and cultural exploration in his work. Based between Budapest and Dhaka, Tushar’s films reflect an inspiring blend of curiosity, compassion, and creativity — capturing the beauty and emotion that connect people across borders.
Born in Barisal and raised in Narayanganj, Tushar began his journey with a simple passion for observing life through a lens. Today, he is recognized for his cinematic travel visuals that highlight humanity, heritage, and harmony.
Tushar is the founder of Pathshala, an educational media platform dedicated to creating Bengali-language learning and informational content for Bangladeshi audiences. The platform focuses on empowering youth with accessible knowledge about global education and professional growth.
He is also the founder of Project Dakghor, a volunteer-driven initiative and digital media portal that supports underprivileged communities during natural disasters and social crises, while promoting awareness-based storytelling in both Bangla and English. Project Dakghor has become a symbol of modern volunteerism and creative activism in Bangladesh’s emerging digital landscape.
Tushar began his early education at Glory International Primary School in Narayanganj, later completing his Secondary School Certificate (SSC) from Adarsha School and his Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) from Milestone College and Dania College, Dhaka. He is currently pursuing a BA in Communication and Media Studies at Budapest Metropolitan University in Hungary.
Since starting his filmmaking journey in 2019, Tushar has collaborated with several Hungarian and international clients as a freelance videographer and content creator, working on travel, lifestyle, and documentary productions. His works are often characterized by authentic visuals, emotional depth, and narrative sincerity.
By 2025, Tushar has travelled to over 23 countries, documenting stories of people and places across Europe and Asia. His ongoing projects include reinterpreting official tourism board visuals into cinematic short films that celebrate local identity and heritage through modern creative expression.
Beyond filmmaking, Tushar identifies as a digital nomad — a storyteller in motion. His creative philosophy centers around the idea that “a camera can build bridges where language cannot.” Through Pathshala and Project Dakghor, he continues to inspire a generation of young Bangladeshis to dream globally while staying rooted in their culture.
