'Honorable Mention' Award for Disha's film 'Maid for Us' at LA Underground Film Forum
Congratulations to Disha, Grade 12, for having her film 'Maid for Us' given an Honorable Mention at the Los Angeles Underground Film Forum. The film has also been officially selected in The Universal Kids Film Festival, Rome Film Awards, Film-ed International Film Festival, Vail Film Festival and Rhode Island Film Festival.
Disha's passion for photography and film-making started when she won the Best Photographer competition in the annual TISB Photography Competition. Disha says that 'photography and film-making has really changed my perception and understanding of the world.'
Her first documentary, 'The Bright Stars' concentrated on how education can transform the lives of underprivileged children for the NGO Let's Do Some Good Foundation.
Her photography has allowed her to explore various areas including street, wildlife, birds and landscape, and a collection of her wildlife photography was published in the Paws Trails Explorers e-magazine.
This summer Disha had her first photography exhibition, in her home town of Jodhpur, where she raised Rs. 20,000 to fund the education of students of SFORD (Society for Rational Development) school in Jodhpur which is an institute for underprivileged children.
