Why Storytelling is important to me
Films hold immense importance for me due to my upbringing in a remote area marked by trauma. Growing up amidst cross-border firing, bombs, and the mistreatment of locals along the Line of Control, as well as witnessing chaos in the valley of flowers and the bloodied waters of rivers and streams, fueled my passion for storytelling through films. These experiences instilled in me a deep desire to narrate the untold stories, shedding light on realities that often go unnoticed or unheard.
