The magic of weddings combined with the magic of cinema

About Me

14 year old Fatima stressed over a High School Football Game

The story of Fath Films begins with my own story. My name is Fatima, I am 25 years old and the youngest of three girls, with South Asian parents (Pakistani & Indian, wild I know), and am a huge romantic.

 

Every experience, every lesson, and every moment of my life has shaped the vision behind my work.

 

I’m from a small town in East Texas, and my love for photography started when I was the field photographer for my high school football team. Capturing those fleeting moments; game-winning plays, subtle exchanges by players, and raw emotions in the crowd taught me how important it is to be in the right place at the right time and capture things as they unfold.

 

That’s why I prefer to shoot organically, without posing or planning, focusing on the true essence of the moment.

When I moved to Dallas for college, I pursued a degree in Psychology at The University of Texas at Dallas. This seeps through in my filmmaking, with my background I learned so much about emotions and people. I love capturing raw, authentic emotions. The real stuff, not what is forced for the camera. I know what it’s like to feel nervous in front of a lens, but my goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.

 

My choice of psychology as a major relates back to being the youngest sibling. When I was a child, I learned to observe and understand people with with very little information. I’ve carried that ability into my work, capturing moments intimately and in a way that feels natural and true to you. Being the youngest taught me that I am a phenomenal listener and can be the best helper to convey someones ideas or thoughts. 

 

A big part of Fath Films comes from my love of weddings. Growing up with Bollywood romance films and watching my sisters romanticize life, I was always drawn to the magic of love. I remember watching wedding videos online and being captivated by the beauty and emotion of it all. That’s the magic I want to capture in my films.

 

My switch from photography to videography came after second-shooting a few weddings. As much as I love photos, I realized filmmaking was calling my name. As a movie lover, the shift felt right. 

 

That’s how Fath Films came to life!
