    About Mohammed H.

    Hi My name is Ali. I am a film maker and educator from Karachi, Pakistan. I am interested in storytelling be it documentary or fiction. I am working with Producer Noe Mendelle of the Scottish Documentary Institute (SDI) on “Guddu” a documentary about a man obsessed about the Pakistani film industry. This subject very dear to me. We seem to forget that we had a very rich history of cinema in Pakistan. This is a small attempt in documenting something which shaped a large part of our pop culture in South Asia. I was fortunate to be a student of the only dedicated film school in Pakistan, the now defunct SAAMPT, I have worked in varying roles with other film makers including International Award winning director, Mehreen Jabbar and Commercial Director Asim Raza. One of my first student short films titled ‘Kurrachee’ was also short listed for Tropfest, Australia in 2013, It later won the Cineaste One Film Festival (COFF) 2013 in Karachi. Having a keen eye for human drama, I have made a number of documentaries for various organizations including Special Children’s Educational Institute (SCEI), The Indus Hospital (TIH), The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF) and done quite a lot of corporate work for multinational clients like Unilever, L'Oreal, Nestle among many other.

    About Shahrukh W.

    I am a Daytime Emmy nominated producer and filmmaker currently based in Karachi, Pakistan. My work focuses on the exploration of the human condition through intricacies of transference and tools of visual storytelling. I hold a BSc in Media Studies and an M.A in Digital Film Production from the University of Bedfordshire. I have had diverse experiences in the field while writing, producing and directing documentary films, commercials, PSAs and short films for local and international clients. I have made films for Pepsi, British Council, Coca Cola, Oxfam, Within, FIFA, PMI, YouTube Originals, Refinery29, Getz Pharma and Askari Bank among many others. My work has been featured at prestigious film festivals like the NYFF, TiFF and nominated at the 48th Daytime Emmy awards. I enjoy my work because it allows me to connect with people from all over the world on a personal level and that connection drives me to tell their stories responsibly. My experiences of producing and directing films with very small crews in Europe, Africa and Asia have allowed me to truly understand and appreciate the universality of film language and its various cultural nuances. As a writer, producer and director, it is my responsibility to supervise and ensure the quality of all aspects of production, including script & story development, stylistic language, cinematic consistency, post-production and everything in between. This has allowed me to immerse myself in each aspect of the filmmaking process and helped me understand the medium better. Apart from my work, I am also interested in linguistics, psychoanalysis, theology, history and anthropology, all of which heavily influences how I approach each story. I am fluent in English, Urdu, Pashto and Punjabi and I am always on the lookout for authentic cultural interactions. I dabble in satirical writing and fiction as well. My work has been published in the nationally circulated English Daily "Dawn" and various online publications. I also pride myself as somewhat of a connoisseur of horror, alternative and international cinema. On weekends, I could usually be found screening films for my friends in my little home theatre or playing board games.
