Kainat is a writer and director from Lahore, Pakistan, telling stories that live in the space between
reality and the unknown. Her work blends grounded human emotion with unsettling, genre-driven
worlds — from psychological horror to speculative fiction.
Her films are not about jump scares or spectacle. They're about the tension that builds in silence,
the unease in repetition, and the shadows cast by what's left unsaid. With a background in
screenwriting and direction, she approaches every project with a precise visual style and a deep
respect for the audience's intelligence — trusting them to connect the dots.
Her short films The Night and Switch mark the early steps of a larger creative vision: to push
Pakistani cinema into new territory, exploring science fiction, supernatural horror, and myth
inspired worlds that resonate both locally and globally.
