In 1998, Kamran Jawaid decided to pursue his love for the movies by making movies. For a major movie / movie-making buff, at the age of 16, it seemed a distant, if unattainable, dream. In the next two years, Mr. Jawaid learned the intricacies of the Hollywood movie business, and armed with a handful of Hollywood-friendly pitches he had setup key contacts within the industry, associated with a few projects and then at the peak of his Hollywood season decided to take a break.

In 2004, Mr. Jawaid took a brief hiatus from the industry to work on his own projects while consulting on and off on motion picture projects.
