Introduce Yourself : My Name is Komal – Screenwriter from Pakistan by Komal Basra

Hi Komal,

I’m a book editor by profession. I spend most of my time working with writing that already has something working in it, but isn’t fully translating on the page yet. That tends to show up in scripts too, especially in how scenes turn and what they leave behind.

I’m not reaching out to offer anything. I just pay attention when something is this close, and I respect the kind of work that goes into it.

Are you in the middle of something right now or taking time between projects?

Hi Komal,

Welcome to Stage 32, so glad you’re here!

That’s amazing you’ve already written a feature—huge accomplishment. I’d love to hear more… what kind of story are you writing?

Excited to have you in the community and looking forward to seeing your work!

Hi Sydney,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I’m excited to be part of the Stage 32 community.

I’ve written a feature about a brave young girl named Basra, who has stood against injustice since childhood. The story focuses on courage, standing up for what’s right, and helping the oppressed. It’s a mix of drama and emotional storytelling, highlighting her journey and the challenges she faces along the way.

I’d be happy to share more details or excerpts if you’d like!

Best regards,

Komal
