Nita Pednekar began her professional journey in the home textile industry as a senior production merchandiser, where she developed a refined eye for aesthetics, structure, and detail. Her transition into cinema evolved naturally from design to storytelling, bringing with her a deep understanding of texture, mood, and visual composition.
She later worked as a costume and production designer on award-winning short films such as Love, Loathe & Life and Words of Rage, where she contributed to shaping emotionally grounded and socially relevant narratives.
With Two Steps, Nita marks her directorial debut. Passionate about issue-driven storytelling, she believes cinema should confront uncomfortable truths while remaining emotionally immersive. Her debut film explores bullying at its psychological core, unfolding as a suspense-driven drama under the haunting tagline: “Reunion Becomes Reckoning.”
