REGENERATIVE CREATION COHORT ALUMNI
Where are your beginnings as a storyteller , creator , and filmmaker begin ?
My interest in films in general began while attending a weekly movie club during grad school . My masters degree in statistics had nothing to do with films but the movie club exposed me to different kinds of films than what I was used to . I watched independent films and foreign language films and realized I did like films , those that made me think .
So I got interested in screenwriting and took some courses in that on the side while working a corporate job on an H1B visa in NYC . I also watched a ton of films visiting the many independent film theaters in the city I was lucky to live in . That became my film education and put me on the path which would bring me to writing and directing films years later .
How has your participation in the Regenerative Creation Cohort impacted your work as an artist ?
I worked with Regen Creation Cohort for a whole year which was extremely transformative for me . Doing deep , introspective inner work under the leadership of skilled artists and with the companionship of other artists on their respective paths helped me in numerous ways . It helped me find the courage of conviction to make my boldest and best work to date and to put into place a plan of action and co-creation whose fruits of labor are still ripening to perfection . It helped me turn inwards for direction and tap into my own power to manifest things .
These types of words used to sound like " woo woo " to me earlier , but now I believe in their power because I have seen first stand how to manifest and harness your own limitless potential . We have very exciting plans , soon to be announced , to share the film and related projects with the world .
