Now, he’s started his own animation studio by the name of Mano Animation Studios where he wants to ” support new work, and seed opportunities to support a new generation of exceptional artists in Pakistan, and beyond.”

His project, The Glass Workers, would be a one-of-a-kind studio at par with those in big animation houses in Japan.

And, we’re digging it.
