Nasreen is an award winning cinematographer whose work illuminates historically excluded voices by normalizing intersectional storytelling. By centering racial injustice, disability inequity, marginalized genders, stigmatized sexual identities, the first woman VP, and the largest telescope NASA has ever constructed, Nasreen thrives as a leader in films that shift our culture. Her ability to motivate audiences is a direct result of approaching each story through intersectional identities: multi-heritage, Black, MENA, Disabled (chronic pain, neurodivergent), Muslim, LGBTQIA+, and 1st Generation.

Successful productions include, lensing Kamala Harris’ Vice Presidential campaign, the Emmy award series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, Netflix’s Unknown Cosmic Time Machine, Vogue’s Supreme Models: Iconic Black Women Who Revolutionized Fashion, and Apple+ Dear… episode with Billy Porter. She executive produced East of the River, screened by Tribeca Film Festival, and directed campaigns for NASA, GitHub, and the Women’s March, in addition to lensing scripted films centering gay and disabled lead characters. Forbes described her as “breaking barriers.”

Nasreen is a fellow of the Ford Foundation’s Disability Futures, a fellow of The Center for Cultural Power Artist Disruptors, a fellow of Sundance’s Accessible Futures Intensive, a Visions mentee of the American Society of Cinematographers, an alumni of the RespectAbility Lab, and a fellow of the WIF Creative Circle. Born in Oakland California, raised in Northern Virginia outside of Washington D.C., she graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn New York with a BFA in Fine Arts thanks to a scholarship from the Black Alumni Office. Nasreen has participated in the Sundance Film Festival and developed programming for AFI DOCS, the Nantucket Film Festival, the Brooklyn International Film Festival, CINE, TIVA, and the EMMYS.
