Spirit Award organizer Film Independent has released three short films directed by South Asian filmmakers that took part in its Global Media Makers Los Angeles Residency.
The three shorts include Anup Poudel’s Birds in LA, where the filmmaker from Nepal portrays a paper swan meeting others of different colors and sizes and embracing friendship and freedom while on a tour of Los Angeles.
The second short is Indian director Archana Borhade’s Inner Camera, where the filmmaker, a cinematographer, reflects on visiting a global beauty capital and finding self-acceptance when turning the camera on herself.
The third short film is also from India, Sriram Raja’s To LA with Love, where the director travels to locations where La La Land was filmed and reflects on how nostalgic Los Angeles feels in his still 35mm photographs, yet modern when captured on his iPhone.
