About.
ARSHILA HUSSAIN
Arshila Hussain was born in Karachi on 18, August. Graduated from the University of Karachi completing her Bachelors in Commerce.
Since her childhood, she knew she had a knack for all things artsy and grew up to be an avid cinemagoer.
Having a passion for art & films, Arshila worked on her direction skills outside of her regular 9-5 job at a bank and had started to assist the director full-time for a television series by the mid-2000s. She refined her art of filmmaking by taking several workshops conducted by the New York film academy in Dubai.
By 2006, Arshila had moved into production & filmmaking where she established herself over the years from Production Controller to Director. Being a female struggler in an extremely male dominant field, she faced numerous hurdles but didn’t give up on her dream. She totally believes the pursuit of her passion would make her successful, and not merely acquiring a university degree.
She has directed some hard-hitting plays namely; Chehron ke Peechay (aired on ATV 2015), Mohey Piya Rang Laaga (aired on ARY Digital 2016), Jatan (aired at ARY Digital 2017-18) and TVCs like Tiffany Bites Biscuits & ICI Dulux Paints.
She has never been enrolled in any filmmaking school such as NCA or NAPA, yet she is making progress as a talented, young and ambitious director.
Arshila aims to become one of the liveliest and most unpredictable female directors by being adept at shifting genres and bringing a personal quality to whatever she tackles. Arshila believes if you want to become a filmmaker, you’re just going to have to roll up your sleeves and work really, really hard.
