During a residency through The Kitchen at Queenslab, Baseera Khan has been at work on a pilot for an experimental television show titled By Faith. In collaboration with a community of close friends, Khan staged, directed, and performed scenes based on intimate, real-life conversations and situations. This page charts the process of creating By Faith, with sections devoted to silent rehearsal footage, on-set footage of film shoots, and other behind-the-scenes documentation.
