Asaf Korman is a director, creator, picture editor and senior edit director in high demand. His feature debut, Next to Her (2014), premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, was released in Israel and internationally, and won numerous awards. Korman directed the gritty crime series Indal, which hit over 8 million views in Israel, and co-created, wrote and directed the acclaimed drama Normal with Lior Dayan (International Emmy nomination, Series Mania, HBO Max, Netflix Israel).
His internationally awarded short films also take on complex, boundary-crossing stories. Death of Shula, which premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, is a poignant road movie about the family dog’s final day that blurs the line between fiction and reality, with his whole family acting in it. His latest short film, Yes or No, screened at the 2025 Jerusalem Film Festival and recently at the International Film Festival of Kerala in India.
Korman is a sought-after chief editor and edit director who brings a deep understanding of story and tone to many productions in Israel and abroad. His work includes the global hit series Tehran (Apple TV+), Bad Boy (Netflix), and the revenge thriller Big Bad Wolves, praised by Quentin Tarantino as one of the best films of the 21st century.
