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
- Short -
Log line: In a world where she’s expected to smile through every slight, Tarakali Shakti - a South Asian woman in the West juggling love, career, and family - reaches a breaking point. As racial and personal tensions erupt, her suppressed fury takes form, and she feeds the hunger she’s spent a lifetime denying, devouring the line between victim and monster.
