A psychological drama about a newlywed Indian woman, Preet, who escapes the confines of her sexually abusive past in India and finds refuge in New York City through her childhood friend, Jugal, only to realize that there’s more than meets the eye.

I Wrote, Produced, Directed, and Edited the short film. The short film acts as a proof of concept for a feature film that has been in the works since October 2020. The feature film has been workshopped at the Film Bazaar in India and multiple Indian production companies are interested in partnering up. Currently, we are looking for our lead producer in the United States.
