Director Statement

I have been telling stories through the lens of the Pakistani American experience since film school.

Enjoy creating engaging accessible stories through genre films about my diaspora for mass audiences.

Not interested in using the agency of my Pakistani heritage as the key conceit in my narratives, I believe story and character take priority.

I have a passion and love for cinema, an encyclopedic knowledge of the medium, its artistic and business history, it's my life and singular passion.
