“The more work you do, the better you're going to get.” - Anu Menon

  Anu Menon is an award-winning film director and writer who brought the extraordinary story of mathematician and astrologer Shakuntala Devi to life. As a child, Anu was always drawn to storytelling but never imagined that she would enter the world of filmmaking. She talks to Vandana about being one of the few women in India to hold directing and writing positions in film and TV, and reflects on what it will take to inspire and uplift the next generation of female filmmakers.   CREDITS: Host & Creative Director: Vandana Goyal  Project Coordinator: Saumya Sahu Project Advisor: Akshay Saxena Marketing & Media Producer: Joash Cornelius   This is a Maed in India production.
