Based on real life stories of an immigrant community in Upstate New York, USA, this feature narrative screenplay blends magic realism with everyday lives of characters. This screenplay was selected to The Athena Screenwriters Lab (NYC), Stowe Story Labs (Diverse Voices Finalist) and shortlisted at Sundance.

A woman walks the streets of her childhood, meditating on history and violence. 

Adapted from the 1908 writings of Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hussain, a modern day Sultana's journey into outer space.

Based on my mother's beauty salon where I spent several afternoons observing, working part time and writing, this screenplay is soon going to be under production!
