Meet the Filmmakers

Sharmila Ray – Director/Producer
Sharmila Ray started in documentary film. You Follow: a search for one’s past was a feature that followed her best friend, Nisha Grayson, on the search for her birth mother in Goa, India. The film garnered attention in the adoption community as well as film festivals. This experience ushered her desire to gain more knowledge in production. While working in TV and film, Sharmila created unique and personal short form projects in music video, comedy and webseries. Last year she wrote and directed Devotee a 1970’s period drama about a drifter who encounters a Guru and her devotees in Sedona, AZ. Devotee made its international debut at the Jaipur Film festival in India and will be making its domestic debut at the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival this year. Currently she is in post production on a short film; Burnt Orange a thriller about finances and nightmares.
