Nami Assir
Founder, LenslightA filmmaker who came to healthcare through curiosity — and stayed because of the stakes.
Nami Assir started making videos in March 2020 — the week COVID shut everything down, on his 27th birthday. He was a teacher at the time. When in-person classes stopped, he started recording lessons for his students. Something clicked. He bought equipment, left the classroom, and went full-time a year later.
The move into healthcare wasn't planned. Working in the Boston area, he kept finding himself hired by healthtech companies, clinical teams, and life sciences organizations — people building genuinely complex products with almost no ability to explain them clearly on camera. In 2022, Calyx.ai brought him on to produce a series of case study films for clients including Pfizer, AbbVie, and Vigil. That work set a direction he never expected — and hasn't left since.
What keeps him here is the breadth. Healthcare isn't just doctors and patients — it's some of the most serious entrepreneurs in the world working on consequential problems, from injectable biologics and AI diagnostics to telehealth platforms and clinical trial software. Nearly all of them struggle to communicate what they do. That gap is where Lenslight works.
Every production day — the same crew, the same standard
What hiring Lenslight actually looks like
You work directly with Nami — start to finish
No account managers, no hand-offs. Nami leads every project personally, from the initial strategy conversation through final delivery. The person you speak with in the first call is the person on set and in the edit.
The same trusted crew on every production day
For shoot days, Nami works with the same collaborators he's used for years — a lighting technician, an assistant editor, and an animator for motion graphics work. Consistent people means consistent quality and zero learning curve between projects.
Most projects deliver in 6–8 weeks
From kickoff through final delivery. Campaigns with strategy, a full shoot day, and multiple deliverables typically start at $12K–$20K+. Every project begins with a planning workshop to align on goals, messaging, and distribution before a single frame is shot.
From people who've shipped real work with Lenslight
"I can't recommend Nami enough. He partnered with our team to shoot and edit five distinct brand videos, along with clinic tour videos across our locations, and the impact has been tangible. Nami has the ability to translate rather complex healthcare services into clear, compelling visual stories. The videos he created have genuinely made it easier for us to explain our services — both internally and externally. Our team actively uses them in marketing emails to referring providers, on our YouTube channel, in onboarding and capabilities presentations because they communicate who we are and how we care better than words alone. Beyond the final product, Nami was thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply respectful of our mission and the sensitivity required in mental healthcare. He made our clinicians feel comfortable on camera and captured the heart of our work with authenticity and polish."
"Nami has a great vision and most importantly is astute at understanding customer needs. He is easy to work with and open to feedback to make sure the end product is just right for you. I've used his services on multiple projects, and each time felt the end product was super helpful in capturing our target audience with engaging content and making sure they quickly understood our key talking points."
"We've been able to reach more people. Our explainer video has been really helpful before we're going into product demos or sales conversations."
— Kendra Seavey, President & CEO, care.coach"We actually had customers who were on the fence not only come back to the table — but ultimately sign contracts with us."
— Catie Leary, Strategic Marketing Manager, BPLogix"We feel like he really understands our brand and our message because he cares. We continue to call on Nami time and time again."
