Humans of Cannabis: Pakistan | Official Teaser

A NOTE FROM THE MAN BEHIND THE CAMERA This is my first attempt at making a documentary series. I went in with a Panasonic GH5, DJI mini and an iPhone 11, no crew, no major plan beyond showing up. I hadn't a scooby doo what the fuck I was at tbh. Everything in this trailer was shot by me in Pakistan. No stock or AI footage. Wanna keep this bad boy to be as human as possible, given where content is going these days 🎥 I was making it up as I went along, which served me well. What you're watching is my first attempt at recording, my first attempt at editing, and a lot of learning out loud. This will bring you through my personal experience of Pakistan and the cannabis landscape there.
