Sharifah Aleysha

Not someone who wants to be pigeonholed, Sharifah Aleysha is breaking new ground for herself in the arts. Since graduating from Sunway with a Diploma in Performing Arts, she’s been expanding her craft into film, theatre and etc. Her short film debut, Diri, was shortlisted in the BMW Short Film Competition 2014 and she has also submitted it to the Sundance Channel. She was also the lead in the late Yasmin Ahmad’s film, Muallaf.

 

Leysha, as she likes to be called, is keen on writing and directing her own projects to express her background and creativity in the realm of women and religion topics. Growing up in a household full of creative people lit up the spark in her to be behind-the-scenes as she is currently working on new projects that will surely put her on the map.

 

She also hopes to further her studies in film to further help in the growth of her family business, Kelip-Kelip Arts Sdn. Bhd.
