I am a DIY multimedia artist, filmmaker, and playwright. I am Deaf and I hail from India. I was raised Muslim and I consider myself a liberal agnostic Muslim. My play, How the Rapist was Born, was produced in London in 2009 and followed with a 2nd production in Essex. I wrote and directed my first film, Wedding Night (2010), which I am promoting at various film festivals. Visit my website for more information.
