Vikram Zutshi

After graduating with honors from UCLA, Vikram dived into the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and worked as Creative Producer and Field Producer on a number of indie feature films and as Story Producer for many hours of network Television. This was followed by a stint in Development at Fox Searchlight, then as Story Editor at Camelot, and later in Film Sales/Acquisitions at Rogue Entertainment and Babylon Media. His directing debut, the controversial feature documentary, Max Kennedy and the American Dream, about a right wing vigilante stationed on the US-Mexico border, was filmed at various points along the 2000 mile-long US-Mexico border and had it's international premiere at Visions Du Reel, Switzerland. It has since been widely broadcast all over the world. Vikram's next film as director was Love Rush, a quirky comedic short on hook up culture in Los Angeles followed by The Disruptor, which explores the work of futurist and visionary Ondi Timoner, dealing with social media and internet-fueled convergence of art, technology and culture and it's effect on contemporary culture and society. The Disruptor is the first in a trilogy on trailblazing female artists. He recently completed Darshan: The Living Art of India, a feature length documentary on the traditional arts of South Asia, in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and narrated by eminent Art Historian Dr. Pratapaditya Pal. He also just completed Tijuana Dreams, the Trump-era sequel to Max Kennedy and the American Dream on one of the most volatile political issues of our time: illegal immigration, human trafficking and the immigration crisis on the US-Mexico border. Vikram is a prolific columnist, writing on art, religion, politics, history and cinema for various outlets is prepping his next film, a screwball comedy set in Bombay and London, Byron Goes to Bollywood, and is writing his first book of non-fiction.
