Sitara focuses on the issue of child marriages in Pakistan. The 15-minute silent short film tells the story of a young girl who dreams of becoming a pilot. The surprising part is that her story is told from the perspective of her younger sister.<\/p>\n

As it is a silent movie, the makers have put a lot of effort in the visuals and sound effects to tell the story largely through emotions. For the music, Sharmeen collaborated with Grammy and Emmy Award-winning music composer Laura Karpman.<\/p>\n

The short film has received critical acclamation internationally and has earned Best Produced Screenplay, Best Music Score and the Humanitarian Award at the Los Angeles Animation Festival 2019.<\/p>\n
