"It's like an absolute strength in this industry, and as a human being, but I think like the most difficult thing was to be able to try to enter this industry without any type of connection, any type of mentorship.

"And then once you're told, 'everything's going to shut down for like, two years,' it's like, 'we don't even have our footing yet in our own industries,' - we're not even on the ladder yet and the ladder disappears.
All the hard work and dedication resulted in Masood winning the Emerging Filmmaker Award during the 38th Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
