My name is Sahera Khan, myself is Deaf and BSL user. I was born in East London, United Kingdom. My background family came from India and Pakistan.
I am a Filmmaker, also I am a Writer and Artist too. I had been published my nine books on Kindle and I wrote a playwright called Hope for Ishq for Playshare.
I had been studied the course called T156 Digital Film School (Open University 2012) and I also attended some masterclasses (London Film Academy) from Neath Films and BSL Zone.
I wrote the screenplays: Help Me! (Trailer, 2012), He Stood Me Up (BSL Zone short film webclip, 2014), Audiology (short film, 2015), REVERTED (documentary, 2016) and BOND (short film, 2016).
I filmed and directed a few short films are Help Me! Trailer, Reverted and Bond.
Another short films such as He Stood Me Up and Audiology to worked with the deaf female Muslim Directors.
There are a few selections of my short films from film festivals are:
- Bond (a short film) was official selection by IIDFF (India) 2016 and WON Runner (2nd Place) for Best International Deaf Film.
Picture This Film Festival 2017 (Canada) Official Selection.
- Reverted (documentary) was official selection by ISNA Film Festival (USA) 2016.
- Audiology (a short film) was official selection by Deaf Film Festival Munich 2016 and also was official selection for Semi-Finalist (no screen) by The Film Bunch 2016.
My purpose is to compare between a Deaf perspective and a Hearing perspective because at present it is well popularised of hearing reverting to Islam through the media e.g. television and online e.g.YouTube, especially the wider audience watch them, reason the are in demand is they want to know "Why" and "How?"
What about Deaf? The reason why I produced a documentary is to show the audience to see that Deaf reverts to Islam and for the wider audience including the Deaf audience as well, all have the same question "Why?" and "How?"
