Thanks for your message! It is really great to see works of independent filmmakers from Pakistan who are making films and plays on very interesting topics even with the lack of technical facilitites. Hopefully, filmmakers like Mehreen Jabbar will attract some local and international attention and encourage investment to help artists who are trying to convey their message in a creative style and in turn improving Pakistan`s art film scene.

Film, after all, is a powerful medium and can be an important tool for bringing togethor communities.

Laila Kazmi,
let me tell you what a joy it is to read pieces like this.

You are encouraging people who can project Pakistan positively on the

international level. Mehreen Jabbar appears to have great potential.

Please keep up the good work and continue writing on CHOWK.

One typo ``Mehreen is also part of the team of indecent filmmakers``

marred what I thought was a wonderful review. Your writing has style.

I was recently contacted by a young man who arranged the Strings Concert

in Seattle. Would you be interested in writing for Pakistan Link from there?

Ras
