13 min - TIFF | While We Watched film | Director Vinay Shukla, Cinematographer Amaan Shaikh
I interviewed Director Vinay Shukla, Cinematographer Amaan Shaikh about their documentary While We Watched on Sep 18, 2022. The New York Times says: "This documentary about the veteran broadcast journalist Ravish Kumar is less an inspiring tale than a wake-up call for India."
I interviewed talent at TIFF, which was Sep 9-19, 2022. Most interviews were very short chats on red carpets. But some red carpet chats were a bit longer, and some interviews were longer chats in hotel rooms or restaurants. I'll post some of the longer ones as podcasts, and you can view all the interviews at my YouTube.
