The Engenius Interview

Engenius: You directed your first music video. How did you prep?

Aisha Khan: I treated it like a short film — storyboard, shot list, lighting plan. The song told me the visuals.

Engenius: Biggest lesson?

Aisha Khan: The performance is everything. If the artist isn't comfortable, the camera sees it.

Engenius: What's next?

Aisha Khan: A documentary, then a visual album. I want to tell stories, not just shoot them.
