About Sumedha

My acting teacher used to say that “personality is a myth”.

As a child, I was fascinated by the stories from Hindu mythology. I entertained my friends with skits in elementary school. I've always expressed myself through dance, acting, writing, and filmmaking.

My undergraduate degree is from a small liberals arts college that followed the “Great Books Program”. I then got my Master's from The New School in New York where I focused on media studies with a filmmaking emphasis.

I am now an award-winning filmmaker and a seasoned video producer and editor. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I have worked with big names in media, including BuzzFeed, and clients such as Gillette, HBO Max, and LionTree.

I am currently pitching a limited series based on my immigration struggle in America and the ensuing year I spent in India.
