Directing Change with Kirtana Banskota


Listen Later

In the final episode of Season 1 of The Nepali Outpost, we speak with filmmaker Kirtana Banskota. Kirtana speaks to us about her creative journey, why representation is important, and what it means to be one of the few Nepali-American filmmakers and producers. We dive deeper into the cultural changers in Nepali diaspora, and why Nepal's filmmakers are underappreciated and how some of its best films go unrecognized.

She also speaks about her new projects; highs (and lows) of working with the Nepali community; and what the American in "Nepali-American" might mean.
