About the Writer/Director
Vaibhav Rao naively calls himself a writer-director. Raised in Mumbai, he is grateful for the structure afforded to him by Columbia's MFA Film Program. He has returned to his Indian roots and tells people he “works” in Bollywood. For reasons unbeknownst to him, his shorts have played at festivals across the US.
