Samiksha Thakur

Samiksha Thakur is an award-winning Indian-American filmmaker whose shorts have screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals like Seattle International Film Festival and Indy Shorts (by Heartland Film). As a writer and director, she avoids the wax poetic, underlining authentic character-driven narratives through her work, instead.

She is a YoungArts Award Winner in Film and a recipient of the WarnerMedia, AT&T, and Ghetto Film School production grant. Currently, she is a BFA candidate for Filmmaking with a Sociology minor at Montclair State University.
