About Me
I make films that move people. Born between cultures and continents, my work explores the untold stories of women, identity, and resilience — told with cinematic intimacy and unflinching honesty.
With roots in Sydney, Dubai, and Karachi, I bring a uniquely cross-cultural lens to every frame I shoot. My films have screened at international festivals and earned recognition from jurors across four continents.
