Priya is an Indian-Scottish self shooting director, from London.

Whilst studying documentary in Barcelona, she worked on 'Starting Line' (acquired by Betevé and Movistar+), a film that follows people suffering from various addictions, using sport as a means of rehabilitation.

Connecting with these participants inspired her to keep working with similar themes, this time looking inward. ‘Still, life’ is a 7 minute short made for her final project, about her dad. The film, amongst other international awards and festival selections, won best short at DocsBarcelona 2024.

‘Still, life (wt)’ is now in development as a feature having won the 2025 Edinburgh Pitch. The film is backed by Random Access Pictures, produced by John English, co-produced by Nadja Lapcevic (Varda Pictures) and will be distributed by MetFilms.

Priya co-founded Take2, a collective of all female-identifying creatives that progam film screenings. The events champion emerging filmmakers, whilst donating all proceeds to urgent humanitarian aid and underfunded film institutions. She also volunteers as the UK Ambassador for the non profit, ShareDoc.
