Khairulla Saidullaev is a director, scriptwriter, founder and inspirer of Alladin Group Event & Production company. Was born on April 18, 1978 in a small green town in the Kentau mountains, in the south of Kazakhstan.

It was childhood, when children attended numerous free clubs in their city, when there were no Internet and smartphones, and the endless congresses of the Communist Party were shown on TV all day long.

It was a different time, a different era, when people read, talked, went to visit each other, when they empathized, were sad and rejoiced for each other sincerely and without any other intent. It was a different world with its own advantages and disadvantages.

As a child, the author of this book at the age of 10 already composed fairy tales himself, wrote them on notebook squared sheets, sewed them, drew a cover, trying to create an impromptu book. Later, at family holidays in the circle of close relatives, he gathered his cousins and sisters and other invited children around him and read them his stories.

Khairulla often participated in amateur performances at school, went to a puppet theater club, a music school, and practiced dance. In the puppet theater classes, he often had to restore fairy-tale characters, and sometimes create them from scratch. The ability to write fairy tales came in handy in the theater. Therefore, in addition to the productions of famous writers, the theater staged fairy tales created by him.

Creativity inextricably follows him. As a student, and for the next 10 years, Khairulla participated in KVN (Club of the Funny and Inventive), first as an actor, then many noticed that he was good at writing jokes, he became a scriptwriter, and later he was invited as a director for various projects.

In 2008, after extensive experience in KVN, he founded the Alladin Records video studio.

The video studio quickly took a leading position among similar companies in the country. The main advantage of the company was avoiding a template and creating original ideas and exclusive projects. The studio tried to move away from the number of orders to the quality of production. Thanks to a creative approach, the studio’s clients – Kazakhstani stage artists, private and state-owned companies and event agencies – received unique solutions to their problems.

Company’s motto: «Only exclusive project»

In 2010 a videography club was established in Kazakhstan.

Since 2012 Khairulla Saidullaev, at the initiative of many of the country’s production studios, has begun conducting master classes in camera art and video editing. Every year, the studio became a winner of not only national competitions in a professional sphere, but also in competitions held in the countries of the commonwealth.

The studio was also awarded the 2015 and 2019 Industry Leader title in the national rating of the country.

In 2012 the studio was replenished with experienced event managers, and a new direction appeared, which was Alladin Event. The company began to organize exclusive projects involving actors and artists of various genres, to make theatrical performances.

In 2013 experienced craftsmen, decorators, designers were attracted to the creative team and created the décor studio called Alladin Décor.

At the moment Khairulla Saidullaev runs the Alladin Group full-cycle company and for over 20 years has been creating unique directorial projects and events in Kazakhstan and abroad. These are projects of different styles and genres, photo-video advertising and music videos. In his life, everything is subordinated to creativity, where you can bring to life the most unexpected and amazing ideas without restrictions.

Khairulla Saidullaev moves beyond and constantly improves his level of professionalism at various international trainings. At the same time, he is ready to share the gained experience, new information during his master classes with colleagues, as well as with videographers from other areas.

The annual trainings are popular and gather a large number of people interested in professional growth. The accumulated experience and inborn creativity allow to create not only interesting exclusive works, but also, to a certain extent, samples of real art.

Applying the principles of collective unconsciousness and the specifics of perception, modern films and TV shows, along with commercials and music videos, are designed to evoke the appearance of symbols and spontaneous images, associations, reactions and generally accepted concepts in the viewer. It is the typical features of the hero, stable archetypes and universal symbols that make the images reproduced on the screen close to the viewer.

For most people today, it is obvious that the most effective tools of advertising and PR are short films and video clips.

The roots of these are based on the film. As you know, cinema combines various aesthetic trends, such as literature, theater, music and visual arts. They also highlight the visual and expressive means of this genre, namely actors, light, composition, and editing. However, the true art of advertising must take into account conciseness and laconism, combined with depth and capacity. That is why the role of the Director is so important here.

The profession of Director, in cinema, unlike theater, arose almost immediately, from the end of the XIX century. There is an urgent need to coordinate the activities of numerous participants. To this day, the level of Director’s professionalism is determined by his ability to lead the entire creative process, directing the efforts of all members of the creative team to implement a common artistic idea.

Fundamental in any TV and movie theater is the emotional experience of the viewer, which is the basis of its imaginative nature. This is why the role of figurative language, designed to manipulate rather than create a real image of an event, has become so important today.
