The proudest work of my life - Humbled to have made this list of films that speak from the heart. I wish my film would make a dent in the inhumanity that Gazans have to endure every day.

From children who have lost their families to a poet and a peaceful protest.

LIGHTING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF HOW A VIDEO LOOKS!!

Productions are done in a team and the only way to push your limits is to partner with great producers and broadcasters. In attendance at the World Congress of Science and Factual producers to meet content creators around the world (conducted virtually with excellence).

Like anything else, the video production and television industry has been hugely impacted by COVID-19. It has created new hurdles and new opportunities for content producers. Unlike many other jobs, working without a studio or crew is not an easy option. With production halted, the video production industry is trying to see how to move forward.

Where there are restrictions, there are new opportunities opening up. People are accepting of shoots being done individually at home. Stars like Trevor Noah have shifted their shows out of studios into an amateur home setup and their fans have accepted it.

Social media and YouTube have been an excellent medium. Particularly for Pasha Films, we have been able to utilize platforms on Facebook and now Instagram to build an audience and interact with them. It has built a sense of community for our audience and a purpose for our team.

Although this new virtual world has brought new challenges. It has brought so many exciting changes that will outlive COVID-19.

If you are thinking of producing a video but don't know how to budget it, here are some useful guidelines:

Video is great for marketing your company, but what does it cost? Videos come in all shapes, sizes and budgets. With the plethora of consumer equipment and phones with camera capabilities videos can cost as low as few hundred dollars to over $50,000.

We are excited to start a new segment, BEHIND THE LENS!

We hope to give our audience a more personal look at our work and filmmaking. Today we are discussing our past project, Women of Islam - Veiling and Seclusion.

HOW IT STARTED:

Founder, Farheen Umar, was first inspired to create documentaries when she realized that what was shown in the news was not the truth. This launched the creation of Pasha Films.

At the time, there was huge media coverage on Afghanistan and Iraq after the tragic events of 9/11. Farheen noticed the stereotypes about Hijab and the covering done by Muslim women that was promoted by popular newspapers and television media. She wanted to bring a realistic picture to the world by interviewing women about their choice of covering. This was the start of Pasha Films.

The process of creating Women of Islam involved research and planning before getting into filming. Farheen did extensive research from history books and by interviewing personalities who were knowledgeable on the subject. To show a complete picture, Farheen decided to include many countries and cultures in the film. The film involved extensive traveling and shows women from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, and the USA. For her, this was also an opportunity to step out and make a connection with her subjects and different cultures of the world.

FUN FACT:

While searching for a location to film a historical section of the documentary Farheen found an ideal location on the beaches of Karachi (Pakistan) where there are camels much like in the older tribal regions of Arabia.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Farheen Umar. Farheen, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today? After my MBA from the University of San Diego, I was faced with the option to either pursue a corporate career or venture on a less predictable but more passion-drive...

We captured a four hour event for NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Entrepreneurs) and condensed to produce this short and snappy video.
Organizations want interesting videos to highlight their brand and events and showcasing an important events is a great way to do that. It was a treat working with
NAWBO team to produce this video for their website and social media.
We have created this type of video content for many businesses and it require one day of filming and three days of post production. Client feedback and making sure
the client loves the video and their preferences are taken care of is a big part of how we work.
