About Me |
|
| As a child, I dreamt of making movies and being a filmmaker. I was amazed at how it all came together on the big screen, and wondered who are the people that made this magic happen ? It was with my father's video camera that I began exploring the world of filmmaking in my early teens. In 2004, I realized my childhood dream by co-founding Aisha Media to tell intriguing and captivating stories through moving pictures. In addition to providing quality entertainment, I believe in making movies that are meaningful and that make people think.My early influences were Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Shezad Khalil, Sahira Kazmi and Jamil Dehlavi. Filmmakers who inspire my current story telling styles are Fassbinder, Almodovar and Deepa Mehta.To see all of my work, please visit www.aishamedia.com or simply go to www.myspace.com/aisha_media
