Ten years after making Partition drama 'Khamosh Pani', Pakistani director Sabiha Sumar is back with her second film 'Good Morning Karachi', a coming-of-age story about an aspiring billboard model as she navigates her way through tradition and modernity in the country.
	Sumar said it took her close to a decade to make her second feature film because it was hard raising funds in Pakistan as an independent filmmaker. The director, however, says cinemas are opening up and it is an exciting time for artistes in Pakistan.
	"This is the year that things are opening up in Pakistan but I have been working on the script and trying to raise funds for a long time.
