About Me
I've meandered a lot in my life. From country to country, job to job, set to set. But my passion for the human experience, particularly those identities at the margins, has never changed. So: I am a storyteller- through writing, producing, acting and filmmaking. I am committed to telling underrepresented stories on screen and sharing them with the world.
EATING THE OTHER
Inspired by the bell hooks critical race essay of the same name, Eating the Other is Jazba Singh’s debut as a writer/director. Eating the Other debuted at the Oscar and BAFTA qualifying Flickerfest International Film Festival and has played in festivals in Canada, India and the US.
An enigmatic South Asian woman carefully navigates her love life, work life and family life as racial tensions simmer. But when she reaches a boiling point, she can no longer repress her hunger for a pound of flesh.
The film has been sold and screened at the University of Winnipeg, Carleton University and York University as part of their Gender studies programs.
Written, co-produced, acted and directed by Jazba Singh.
This work is supported by MAV, as part of their 2022 Ahead of the Curve Commissions
