Katti has been one of my most fulfiling experiences of working on a narrative short film. Born from deeply personal experiences, the script resonated with me as soon as I read it.
Katti brought with it a unique set of producing challenges - creating sets to resemble India while filming in Los Angeles, as well as managing a large cast and crew including multiple young children on set within complex time constraints.
As Associate Producer for the film, I took the lead in creating the crowdfunding campaign, handling paperwork for minor actors, as well as coordinating with all background and supporting cast.
On set, I also worked as part of the direction team and one of the BTS photographers for the film.
Katti won the Cultural Impact Award at the American Pavilion’s Emerging Filmmaker Showcase at Cannes 2026
