Zoha Shakoor is a filmmaker and a student of Mass Communication at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). In May 2022, her short-film idea, Tazheek, was the first selected for funding by RINSTRA Technologies, a digital media platform that supports young filmmakers. She was a student of Mass Communication Batch 2K20 and was pursuing her Master's in Mass Communication at the time, working on her final year project.<\/p>\n
On women in media, she said: 'As a female, I believe that we need tell new stories, I feel that there should be more representation of women in mainstream media as we comprise almost 50% of the population and we can't be generalised based on how we are viewed by a select few who produce content.'<\/p>\n
