Meet the team behind faani

Shamsher Rana

Director

Making films had been a pipe dream of mine for the longest time. Through good fortune I ended up working professionally in both feature and commercial films for little over half a decade. Over time I realised that the brand films I wanted to see weren’t being produced in Pakistan. By definition - films that challenge the perception and norms of their audience. I also saw how so many brilliant artists I knew simply didn’t have a community around them to enable their ideas. Those dots connected over time and fanned the flame to form faani films. A collective of artists and creatives primed to tell their story with no compromise or filter on their artistic choices and visual aesthetics. I sincerely hope you enjoy the work we do.
