Farhad Jamali and Dostain Baloch are a duo of filmmakers-producers aiming to tell stories from their home region Balochistan, sharing the same vision for a minimalistic and Neo-realistic kind of cinema. They are co-founders of Junz Film, where they are currently developing their first feature production: Seer – A Wedding.

Production Company

Junz Films is an independent production house, founded in 2014 by young film graduates in Karachi. Junz Films collaborates with local artists to extract urban and rural stories that connect to the very roots of social issues in Pakistan, in a non-conventional and independent style. Our goal is to introduce Balochi Cinema to the international scene. The regional stories that we want to tell and their natural style detach from the mainstream Pakistani films, and are closer to Neo-realistic cinema. To foster them, we look at the international scene to find partners with the same mind-set.
