His first feature was his graduating film, Flight of the Bee (1988), co-directed by a classmate, South Korean Min Byung-Hun. As from then, Usmonov has directed and written several short films both fiction and animation, in addition to documentaries, the majority produced by the state-owned Tadjikfilm.
