Today, we are thrilled to share a major milestone in PAKD’s creative evolution: We have officially joined forces with FDK Studios as producers of the animated short film Quiet of Beginning. This collaboration marks a defining moment in our journey as we expand from digital strategy and development into the world of cinematic storytelling.
Quiet of Beginning is an introspective animated film by award-winning director and visual artist M. Fahad Khan, known for his work across movies, AAA video game productions, and global commercial campaigns.
The movie explores a singular moment suspended in time, a pause between breath and thought, where silence becomes a language and nature becomes a mirror.
At its heart, the film follows a writer who retreats into the quiet of nature to reconnect with meaning, presence, and the invisible threads that shape existence. Through atmospheric visuals, immersive sound, and philosophical storytelling, Quiet of Beginning invites viewers into a contemplative experience unlike traditional narrative films.
