My journey as a storyteller was ignited by my exposure to the mesmerising works of the National Film Board of Canada and Films Division. The captivating creations of artists like Norman McLaren and Pramod Pati fuelled my passion for design-focused formalism. Moreover, under the guidance of my mentor Saeed Akhtar Mirza, I delved into the realms of philosophy and politics, shaping me into filmmaker with a penchant for style, design and occasional wisdom.
