"The Glassworker" Pakistan's First Hand Drawn Animated Feature Film in the Works.

Usman Riaz's The Glassworker will mark the very first hand drawn animated film to come out of Pakistan. The animation style will be heavily influenced by Japanese anime.

Usman Riaz is a musician, currently studying at Berklee College. Along with the animation and directing, he will also be composing the music for the film.

The film will about a boy who grew up working in a glass factory, and falls in love with a girl who works there. Riaz hopes that this will open the door for more great art to come out of Pakistan using this method.

To make sure the film will be top notch, Riaz is doing a Kickstarter to make sure it will be possible, you can find it here:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manostudios/the-glassworker-an-animated-film-directed-by-usman.
