While all of her films have placed or won awards in major film festivals, her videos have received over 15 million hits on YouTube, broadcast across the world, and have been seen anywhere from universities to international embassies.

Syriana, The Kite Runner) and Valhalla Motion Pictures (The Incredible Hulk, Armageddon) where she worked on the creative teams. Responsible for anything from brainstorming film ideas to script development, she gained knowledge of what qualities a film needs to be memorable and successful, and now brings those aspects to her work.
Lena has been honored as a guest speaker at various universities; profiled in USA Today, the New York Times, and various other media outlets; won Sony Entertainment Television's South Asian Excellence Award for contributions to entertainment; and now dedicates herself to making films that call attention to social issues through entertainment.
