Today, I’m joined by Alka Raghuram, an independent filmmaker who makes narrative, documentary, and experimental films, as well as multimedia projects. Alka and I discuss how her childhood in Indore, India helped shape her career, the influence of certain film professors, and the story behind her documentary film, Burqa Boxers, and an upcoming sci-fi project. Topics Covered: ● The ethics around telling stories, particularly the ones that aren't our own ● Inhabiting both insider and outsider views with understanding and mindfulness ● The unique way that Alka judges the success of her projects ● Gaining confidence to tell ambitious stories ● Alka’s plan for depicting the intersection of the mythology and pollution of India’s sacred Jamuna and Ganges rivers Guest Info: ● Alka's Website ● Alka’s LinkedIn Other Resources: · Bill Nichols · Jay Rosenblatt Promoted Podcast · Breathing Wind Follow Me: ● My Instagram ● My LinkedIn ● My Twitter ● Art Heals All Wounds Website ● Art Heals All Wounds Instagram ● Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ● Art Heals All Wounds Facebook ● Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter
