Priya is a 28 year old Indian-Scottish self shooting director, from London. She studied Documentary filmmaking at OTOXO Productions’ Into Industry Programme in Barcelona.
Whilst studying, she worked on ‘Starting Line (2023)’. The film 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’, the 7 minute short she made for her final project, an interview with her dad, amongst other international awards and festival selections, won best short at DocsBarcelona 2024.
In 2025 she pitched ‘Still, life’, an extension of her short, at the Edinburgh pitch and won the audience award.
She founded Take2, an all female-identifying collective of creatives and volunteers as the UK Ambassador for the non profit, Share Doc.
She is a full time carer for her dad who is the subject of her upcoming feature.
