Reema Sengupta, Director and Founder of the production house CATNIP Culture, discovered her passion for filmmaking at a young age.
While other children spent their summers on family vacations, Reema devoted her breaks to screenwriting and direction workshops. She has explored various mediums, including films, music videos, commercials, and video installations.
Her short film, "Counterfeit Kunkoo," is currently being showcased at the Sundance Film Festival 2018. A passion project for CATNIP and Reema's first character-based narrative, "Counterfeit Kunkoo" delves into social issues affecting the daily lives of ordinary people. The 15-minute film follows Smita, a middle-class woman navigating challenges in finding housing after leaving an abusive marriage due to societal stigma.
Reema's filmmaking journey has been marked by success, from earning 16 awards for her debut short film at age 21 to collaborating with acclaimed industry figures. This international recognition at Sundance holds significant meaning for her creative trajectory.
