Testimonial
Her roles as production counsel and co-producer were critical through all stages of our development and production.
“Thea came on board in a significant way as the co-producer on Dukhtar and spearheaded the project to get it off the ground as a US-Pakistani-Norwegian co-production. Her roles as production counsel and co-producer were critical through all stages of our development and production as we raised financing in chunks over several years and crafted our release strategy for the film.” ”
— Afia Nathaniel, Writer & Director Dukhtar.
