Nisha Ganatra, is a Canadian-American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actress of Indian descent. We met this year at Sundance where I was lucky enough to see her screening of Rise, a short film focusing on the struggles of women enterpreneurs today. I first got to know her after watching Chutney Popcorn back in '99, now a cult classic, which she wrote, directed, and produced herself. Ganatra has directed numerous television shows including Transparent, You Me Her, Better Things, Dear White People, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. She also directed the comedy-dramas Late Night and The High Note. She is also the founder of Ladies' Car Production. We talk about her amazing 25-year journey working in Hollywood, why we are most likely related, and why she would love to get back to her indie roots.
