In 2011, she wrote and directed the short narrative film Soul which won first prize in its category at the Emirates Film Competition during the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. She followed this with other films, including Kayani in 2013. Her short film Dhaba was selected to compete at the Gulf Film Festival.
