I had fancied myself an aspiring actress as a teenager growing up in Mumbai. Luckily, I came to understand that for many reasons that notion was impractical. I was, however, very interested in film and wanted to be involved in the industry in some way.
Nightowls of Coventry
While at Business school at Case Western Reserve University, I came upon a documentarian working on her first feature, Nightowls of Coventry. I helped her with a business plan to be presented to prospective investors and was given the title of Associate Producer. We conducted a two-day test shoot and the project was set to take off. Things fizzled off a bit after I graduated, as is common with film. The filmmaker had difficulty finding funding and I had moved to join my husband in Chicago. My title on the credits was reduced to business researcher when the film finally came out many years later.

The Last Victim
Naveen Chattapuram who served as producer on BTS launched his own film company and I am happy to be a part of it as Development Director. The company’s maiden feature is The Last Victim.
