"Can proudly say I'm the first Bangladeshi Fellow of the Sundance Feature Film Program. 'MOVING BANGLADESH' has been selected for the Sundance Screenwriting Intensive," captioned Nuhash.
"Particularly excited about the mentorship from James Ponsoldt, director of my all-time favourite coming of age film The Spectacular Now," he added.
Nuhash also shared that he will be in LA for the whole Month. The Sundance website described, "These emerging creatives from historically marginalized communities will participate in the two-day digital workshop, developing their first fiction features under the guidance of established writers and the Institute's Feature Film Program, led by Michelle Satter (founding senior director, Sundance Institute's Artist Programs) and Ilyse McKimmie (the Feature Film Program's deputy director)."
