She met Beksav Cinema Workshop in 2004 while researching educational opportunities in order to improve her story telling skills. Since then, she loved filmmaking so much that she has never dropped the camera. She has produced and directed seven documentary films. Her films were screened and awarded nationally and internationally. She is running cinema workshops called “Our Neighbourhood Women Making Movies” to teach women how to make films from concept stage to distribution and hoping that more women like herself get to chance to use this amazing medium to share their stories.
