prObed
A first date gone wrong thanks to an extraterrestrial encounter that goes from wonder to horror in the flash of a UFO beam.
prObed is a sci-fi short inspired by the Spielberg classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Using a majority of in camera effects, the filmmakers immerse the audience in an unexpected, fast, and wild ride.
Shot in true anamorphic with an exciting blend of practical and cgi effects.
Born in New Jersey, raised in the burbs of Houston, educated in Austin, filmed all over the beautiful United States, I love making genre films that tell stories about South Asian American’s, think Jordan Peele through the lens of an Pakistani American film nerd/cinephile.
I have been telling stories through the lens of the Pakistani American experience since film school.
Here to tell engaging accessible stories through genre films about my diaspora for mass audiences.
Not interested in using the agency of my Pakistani heritage as the key conceit in my narratives, I believe story and character take priority.
I have a passion and love for cinema, an encyclopedic knowledge of the medium, its artistic and business history, it’s my life and singular passion.
