Director Biography - Raj Jain

I love telling empowering stories on relevant matters. My short
films '14.02', 'Ammi' and 'The Musk Deer' are my first attempt at writing and directing a fiction film, powered by a brilliant crew. These films are my trailers of entertaining queer stories in a non-clichéd fashion. I started my career in 2007 as a Graphic Designer. I also worked in the advertising & non-profit space, and co-founded a social startup to raise awareness on pressing issues.
