Shuchi Kothari

Born in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, Shuchi Kothari studied writing at Texas University, before moving to New Zealand in 1997. She has gone on to write and develop short films, Asian-flavoured TV comedy A Thousand Apologies, and two features: food and family tale Apron Strings, and the Indian-shot Firaaq, the directorial debut of Fire actor Nandita Das. Kothari teaches a number of screen courses at Auckland University.

A lot of Indians here, who put in money, were not filmmakers. A lot of them feel that there are stories, or their own emotional narratives, that are just not around in the public arena.
