The Ask: Make a short archival film reimagining historical footage in a week.
Me, with no experience whatsoever in filmmaking, editing, or sound design, frantically rambling, following instinct, making a student passion project through workshopping, trials and a little luck.
Et voilà.
uprooted is an experimental short film exploring nature, memory, and displacement after the 2025 Pakistan floods. Through images of fragile landscapes and my handmade black-and-white Super 8 flowers and cameraless filmmaking, it traces roots, journeys, and resilience, reflecting on what remains when home is lost.
