About Me

Hi, I am an independent multimedia artist based in the U.S. with a background shaped by diverse cultural and social environments. My work spans short films, impactful documentaries for NGOs, and the upcoming feature film "Saffron Kingdom." I strive to tell stories that blend empathy and authenticity, often focusing on underrepresented groups and their unique struggles, with a particular emphasis on Kashmir's ongoing struggle for freedom. With a strong foundation in PR and marketing, I support both my projects and the creative endeavors of others through strategic promotion.
