Sidartha Murjani graduated from the acting program in Vancouver film school in 2014. Having acted for several years, the writing and directing bug bit him recently, especially for this project, the Interview. It was heavily inspired from his deep meditation and yoga practice. This will be Sidartha's directorial debut.
I want to be and make films that entertain and move the audience emotionally and consciously. The Interview is my first time directing and starring at the same time. I am really excited to see the audiences reaction to this film. It's one of the hardest projects i have created to date but it has helped me evolved artistically.
