I am an experienced educator, visual artist, and a founding faculty member of the Multimedia Arts Department at the University of Gujrat. My practice is rooted in film and visual culture, with a focus on interdisciplinary teaching, curriculum development, and research that explores cultural memory and the role of media in social transformation. Over the years, I have developed as a director, screenwriter, cinematographer, and editor, contributing meaningfully to the field of cinema. My body of work includes films, documentaries, and theater productions, many of which have received international recognition and prestigious awards. My academic work bridges theory and artistic practice, with a particular emphasis on indigenous knowledge systems and marginalized narratives. I am deeply committed to advancing media education and contributing to global academic discourse from a South Asian perspective.
