Noor Nissan Films

Noor Nissan Films is a New Jersey and California based Production Company. The producer of the film, Gagan Amitoj Kaur is a telecom professional working in New Jersey. Taranjit Singh is a young and energetic engineer working in California. The director of the film Ish amitoj Kaur is a professional filmmaker.

The trio combined together their acumen to make a first ever film on the Sikh Diaspora.

The Director of NN Films, Ish Amitoj Kaur, moved to California earlier this year. With a Masters in the Performing Arts and an extensive experience in the Indian Media – Television and Mumbai Film industry, this Fellow of National School of Drama had her eyes set on mainstream Hollywood. But she thinks differently now – “Hollywood can wait”, she says.

Venturing into her Sikh community in Fremont, Ish says she realized two things – first, Sikh children, like all others are affected profoundly by the media and there is a dire need for us as a community to have their lives portrayed as lives of normal people, just the way it really is. Secondly, the elders in the community feel concerned. “We want a platform to voice our feelings”, they say. They want their real life stories portrayed authentically. And The Noor Nissan Films has pioneered a step in this direction.

After working on major projects like ‘Pinjar’ and ‘Asa Nu Maan Watna Da’, Ish found a lot of Punjabi culture portrayed in them. “That’s good”, she said, “Language is an important element. But what about Sikhism – The Sikh Culture, the ethos?” The answer to the question comes in form of her debut film “Kambdi Kalaai”
