My name is Yair Valer,
After serving in the Army, I embarked on a journey of personal liberation in India, where I discovered my love of cinema, photography And the magic of telling a story.
In India, I realized I wanted to pursue a career in film. Following a year of security guard work in Mexico, I attended Sapir College where I studied in the Department of Sound and Screen Arts, specializing in television, for four Years. During the sapir Film Festival, I won the “Best Pilot Award” for my final project which dealt with post-trauma based on events I experienced during and after Operation “Zok Eitan.”
In Vermont’s prestigious ITVfest festival, where I was the sole student director, I won the award for “best directing.” Since then, I have been working on developing a pilot for a full series as well as working on other projects. In addition, I have worked as a still photographer and a director of stands in various TV series and movies, such as: Fauda, valley of tears, Portrait Victory, and many more.
after the festival I was invited to join several different panels, including a psychologist panel from a center that specializes in treatign PTSD in Israel, and I also participated in a Documentary-film which conducted a research about the PTSD issue
