Acting is Music.

“Wherever you go, I got you. That’s how I talk about improv. That’s music. If you play keys and I’m a drummer, I’m going to follow you; you’re going to follow me. So if I can translate that into a movie set, then we just jam. What key is this in? Got you. What’s the tempo? Feel it.

You’re not a robot. The antidote to AI is the Authentic Intelligence and witnessing the human in real time. But I think that’s the universal language of cinema. The context changes, but the heart remains. If you can jam with the heart, that’s love.”

Big moment for our guy 🙌

Usama Siddiquee is headed to the semifinals of Funny AF with Kevin Hart and we couldn’t be more hyped.

We were so happy to have had him at StoryLounge and South Asian House doing a set a few years ago… and now watching him absolutely crush it is amazing.

Now let’s get him all the way there. Go vote for Usama. 🗳️🔥

Voting is super easy — check out his instructions on slide 4. The semi finals and finals are May 4 & 5 on Netflix!

A meaningful conversation that brought past and present together ✨

Zoya Awan, Director of Public Affairs @Walmart, in conversation with Samrat Chakrabarti about community and the stories that continue to connect us. The discussion highlighted how representation evolves, and how shared experiences keep building bridges across generations. 🎬💬

Enjoying a cup of chai courtesy of @Walmart Create Sparks fueling both the conversation and the community. ☕✨

Why Representation Matters.

“My six year old nephew is here, Mr. Akash. Hi Mr. Akash. For him to see a brown American family like us as a part of the fabric of America - holding onto the roots but not in any stereotypical way. I think this is the most powerful thing as artists that we get to do. And this is for you, Mr. Akash. Because we are the fabric of America and America needs to see this.”

(Q & A at the AMC Time Square for @meeraonthewall ‘s feature film “Didn’t Die”.)

Our Sundance movie Didnt Die is VOD now! Check the trailer bbs 🧟🎟️✨

Samrat Chakrabarti is HARI 🎹

fun fact: This is Samrat’s fourth film project with Meera. He was in the first short film she ever directed! Samrat is the glue; when he starts playing music everyone gathers around, & when he starts improvising everyone finds their rhythm. That’s Samrat, and that’s our Hari! (maybe Hari makes better dosas.)

full trailer drops tomorrow 💚
