Aastha Verma

Aastha is an award-winning Director and Producer based in Los Angeles, and brought up in Dubai. She surrounds herself with stories that are built on ground reality and is a keen storyteller with female protagonists. Her vision is to bring out hidden realities of any given society, to tell stories which are entertaining yet heartfelt and produces something that the viewers take away from. Being a Writer/Director, she strong withholds the facts of ground realities of life when it comes to storytelling, owing to her experience and co-existing in cross cultural societies throughout her life. Her motto, when it comes to making movies is that: "as the new face of cinema, it is in our hands to bring an impactful change through the powerful and evergreen medium of cinema - a language that is recognized and understood throughout the world and conjoins different cultures." Currently, Aastha works as a Freelance Film Writer/Director and Producer in Los Angeles. She is also Creative Director of Saadhvish Films and operates offline out of Mumbai and Dubai (soon in Los Angeles).
