“My dad is an engineer by trade but worked a lot with the people in the Indian film industry when I was growing up. He started out distributing films from India here in the '70s because there was no place to go for people to watch movies from the homeland. So he developed a network of actors, writers, directors, and musicians that became his friends and that he would tour around the country with, doing stage shows of the musical numbers from their films.” PeopleCountryShowsFilmActorsNumbersWatchesGrowing UpGrowingStageIndustryDadDirectorsMusicianIndiaTradeMusicalMy DadIndianEngineersHomelandFilm IndustryPlaces To GoWatch Movie Author:Meera Menon
“When I got into film school, it really formed a sense of who I am and my sense of feeling like an outsider. If there was some greater purpose to do this, it would be so that future generations - my kids or my sister's kids - would grow up seeing themselves in their media culture in a way that I didn't. If The Mindy Project or Master of None were on when I was growing up, I wonder if I would be interested in doing this at all” IfsWayFeelingsWould BeKidsSchoolFilmPurposeCultureGrowsWonderGrowing UpGreaterGrowingSeeingGenerationsMediaMastersProjectsWho I AmMy SisterOutsidersFuture GenerationFilm SchoolGreater Purpose Author:Meera Menon
