Omar Nasar

Omar is a lawyer, founder and creative producer who moved into film and TV after starting his career at U.S. firm Fried Frank, working in corporate finance. Negotiating for demanding clients like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America was all the preparation he needed to navigate negotiating with producers, agents and studios.

Driven by a long-standing love of storytelling, Omar pivoted from finance into media law — motivated by a belief that underrepresented storytellers need real support to break into an industry that isn’t always built for them.

Alongside advising on a range of matters including rights management, contract negotiations, clearance, production agreements, and finance, Omar founded Pendragon Works, a specialist adaptation development studio focused on author-first storytelling and widening access for underrepresented creatives. He also co-founded The Comedy Crowd, a global comedy community–driven production company that works exclusively with emerging comedy talent.

Omar’s collaborations are deliberately selective, partnering with companies and creators whose values align with his commitment to authenticity, access, and widening participation in film and TV. Which is why he has been a long-term advisor and collaborator to MsMono Productions: valuing their sharp eye for compelling stories and supporting the company’s mission-led approach to championing bold global majority female voices, elevating female-led stories, and backing the vital work that actually gives new voices a way in.
