The festival organizers have continued to organize this Festival which is intended to give our communities an opportunity to work together and present this Festival year after year.

Founded in 2010, AWAAZ Productions, Inc. is the brainchild of founder Dr. Fasi Khurram. He looked at the entertainment universe and saw islands of companies serving niche markets. His vision was to unify all services under one banner, creating a single body of integrated companies that complement and reinforce each other.

With its affiliated companies like the AWAAZ Academy of Arts , Cali-Wood Studios and AWAAZ Studios, it provides services to support all phases of content creation, from training talent and developing show concepts to production and distribution of the finished product .
