Meshal Al Jaser was born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He became interested in film at a very young age. Since Saudi Arabia didn't have movie theatres at the time, he decided to make his own films. At 17 years old, Meshal was the main contributer to Folaim’s channel and was one of the first Saudis to direct short films for Telfaz 11’s various YouTube channels. Together the channels have garnered around 870 million viewers, and 8.6 million subscribers. In 2016, Meshal directed Is Sumiaty Going to Hell, a short film which addresses the struggle Indonesian maids face in the Arabian gulf. His next short, Under Concrete, released in 2017, was the winner in a worldwide competition called Qomrah.
