Born and raised in Mumbai, Leah Khambata always knew she wanted to be in the Film industry ever since she was a little girl because of her immense passion for storytelling. She graduated from Wesleyan University in 2014 with a double major in Film Studies and Psychology. During her time there, she worked as a Director, Actor, Editor, and Production Designer on several short films, and also gained some agency experience at WME over a summer. Upon graduation, she worked in different facets of production in NYC, including positions as an Assistant Editor on the independent film, "Emily & Tim," directed by Eric Weber and starring Alexis Bledel and Kal Penn, and in the Art Department of the independent film, "Meadowland," directed by Reed Morano and starring Olivia Wilde. She is currently pursuing her MBA at Cornell University and worked in Drama Development at CBS TV Network in LA this past summer.
In 2017, alongside her degree, she associate produced the TV Pilot of "Two Brown Girls" directed by Abi Varghese and starring Melanie Chandra, acted in three short films and a commercial in NYC, and also starred in the Off Off Broadway play, "Monika's Line."
I made this film because I feel that people in this day and age, especially the hopeless romantics like myself, can sometimes give up on relationships too easily at the first sign of an obstacle because they don't want to feel any kind of heartache, but in life, you sometimes have to go through the hard times to get to the most rewarding ones. So with this film, I wanted to convey the message that you have to let yourself be vulnerable and fall first, in order to fall in love.
