found global fame when she won three awards at Cannes for her 2006 animated short “Printed Rainbow.” Another animated short, 2014’s “TrueLoveStory,” also received considerable festival play. In 2018, she debuted as an actress with “October.
The biggest challenge was the financing of the film. Running from pillar to post would be an understatement. Trying to make an artistic, socially relevant, not for children alone, animation film with no star voices or big names as a debut is in itself a challenge for any one interested to bet their money on. So I used the time in between to make one story from the feature into a short film, “TrueLoveStory,” which premiered in Cannes Critics’ week.
Not really the experience of this film, but yes, my training in theater under Satyadev Dubey has helped me a lot with my filmmaking. I do concentrate a lot on acting of my characters and this is done without using live actors as reference, the way Disney, Pixar or any big studio does. I push my animators to act themselves and bring that into the animation. It is far more difficult but sometimes much more richer.
