Key Creative Volunteers

Zeeshan Shaikh – 48 hour Executive Producer
Zeeshan is using this role as a way to learn more about film-making, and hopes to create short movies, not necessarily as a way to earn money, but to share knowledge and ideas with people, ideas which help reduce tension in society, bring understanding between different cultures/religions/sects. He wishes humanity can get closer to each other  by developing deeper understandings about others’ history, values, wisdom and ways of life.
