About the Director: “Adarsh Reddy (Red) is a South Asian writer/director born in Chicago and raised in Texas and California. His voice is shaped by a childhood spent moving between American suburbs and extended trips to India, navigating the dissonance between cultures.
With an early obsession for storytelling, he picked up a camcorder to document the in-between spaces of identity, belonging, and home. He is interested in intimate stories that explore cultural duality, emotional inheritance, and the quiet rebellions of everyday life.”
