Why She Makes Films.
Lamesa was born in Barisal, Bangladesh. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was four years old, seven months before 9/11. It proved to be a time that was a salient reminder of where immigrants stand in the United States. Being a child of the diaspora has sparked Lamesa’s ongoing investigation on what it means to be an American. It has since been her goal to share her discoveries through filmmaking.
