Dir bio:My name is Aleena Nabeel Mir, and this is our debut film production. We're extremely proud. This is the first time I've directed; however, I have interned, volunteered, and assistant-directed on a few different sets before. Nevertheless, directing this with our amazing team and actors was a truly wholesome and rewarding experience. I work in marketing, and I love storytelling and bringing ideas to life. I enjoy collaborating with others, planning projects, and finding creative solutions to challenges.
