An independent filmmaker, Lena Khan graduated summa cum laude and received undergraduate degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles in political science and history, after which she went on to graduate from the prestigious UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Since then, Lena has been directing short films, commercials and music videos for international artists such as Maher Zain. While all of her films have placed or won awards in major film festivals, her videos have received over 15 million hits on youtube, broadcast across the world, and have been seen anywhere from universities to international embassies.
Lena has also gained experience working at noted production companies such as Participant Productions (Syriana, The Kite Runner) and Valhalla Motion Pictures (The Incredible Hulk, Armageddon). Responsible for anything from brainstorming film ideas to script development, she gained knowledge of what qualities a film needs to be memorable and successful, and now brings those aspects to her work.
Lena has been honored as a guest speaker at various universities; profiled in USA Today, The New York Times, and various other media outlets; won Sony Entertainment Television's South Asian Excellence Award for contributions to entertainment, and now dedicates herself to making films that call attention to social issues through entertainment.
