You could say that Komal Minhas’ road to the White House began in the School’s Journalism program.
[Excerpted from an article by Dan Rubinstein]
In her second year, while doing multimedia work in former instructor Jeff Sallot’s course, Minhas realized that she didn’t want to chase a conventional journalism job. She honed her videography abilities and made a mini-documentary after a trip to Palestine with a non-profit, “using the skills I learned at school as a foundation for diving into the meaningful stories that I wanted to help tell.”
Minhas, who runs a multimedia storytelling company called KoMedia, is the co-producer and distributor of Dream, Girl, which shares empowering stories of female entrepreneurs.
The doc made its debut at the White House in late May as part of the White House Council on Women and Girls’ Women and Entrepreneurship Event. A couple weeks later, more than 600 people attended a red carpet gala for Dream, Girl at the iconic Paris Theater in New York City.
The film “offers an inspiring look at what it takes to make it in the business world as a woman,” reported The Huffington Post. “It’s representative of the diverse culture we live in, which isn’t something that can be said for the majority of movies produced in Hollywood.”
