Director Biography - Nibhaya Nakarmi

As a Nepali fellow aspiring to be an artist in the USA, I knew I had to bring something unique and tasteful to firm my ground here. As a Bachelor’s novice, I have definitely struggled throughout to survive and achieve experience that I now possess after completing my Master’s. Yet, one gift that has always helped me to stand out from the crowd is my culture. Through cinema, I want to present the Nepali authenticity and style in such a compelling manner that the audience would feel refreshed, awakened after feeling saturated with the cinematic content they see everyday.

Director Statement

Growing up in the city of temples, Kathmandu, I also matured experiencing many aspects of my culture. What even captivated me were some spell bounding concepts in Hinduism and ideas that take you beyond the materialistic dimension to
the spiritual mind.
Meanwhile, with a heavy interest towards Cinema, its qualities of expression and
entertainment invoked me in such a way that I too dreamed of and soon later worked to be a
filmmaker. I desired to make an enthralling cinematic piece that would charmingly engage the
audience, while taking them through diverse yet compelling rides within their minds. That's why I tend to blend concepts, stories, and genres in a way that leads me to bend the rules of filmmaking yet still presenting a artistic cinematic piece.
Thus, I decided to make cinema that touches on various dimensions of folk and religious ideas, with a strong story and skilled structure, which gives a unique experience while still entertaining you as a movie.
