| GRANT RECIPIENTS: KESHNI KASHYAP |
 Keshni
Kashyap was raised in Los Angeles by Indian parents.
She attended Berkeley where she studied Literature
and started making experimental videos and
documentaries. After spending a year working for
veteran indie director Wayne Wang, Keshni enrolled
in UCLA's Directing Program where she wrote and
directed four short films, including Hole (2002) and
Good Thing (2004), which have both been recipients
of UCLA Spotlight Awards.
Her films from both UCLA
and Berkeley have screened in over thirty festivals
worldwide. Keshni has traveled all over the world,
especially in South East Asia, where much of her
extended family still lives. She credits her high
school photography teacher for showing her, early in
life, how to frame a shot, and wants to make story
driven films that explore people's internal and
imaginary lives. She is currently working on two
feature length projects, both darkly comic in
nature. She lives in Venice, California.
