Promotions Director
Zunaira Kayani
Hello there! I’m the Promotions Director at ACCENT, where I dance between words and ideas, crafting stories that resonate. My journey brought me from the University of Houston to the vibrant streets of Austin, where the spirit of filmmaking and creativity thrives.
Balancing four classes, a part-time job, and my role at ACCENT keeps me in a constant state of motion, yet it’s the collaboration with my talented peers that truly inspires me. As a theater manager at the Austin Film Festival, I dive deep into the world of cinema, each frame a poem, each scene a story waiting to be told.
At ACCENT, every project is a blank page, and every challenge is a stanza in the poem of our collective creativity. I believe in the power of stories to connect us all, to bridge the gaps between us, and to create something beautiful out of the ordinary.
In the words of Rumi, “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
