Episode 3.08: He Comes From A Good Family, with Anisha Savan

Having minimal experience in film, Anisha Savan took a chance on herself and created the short film “He Comes From A Good Family.” Drawing a connection between a mother’s desperation to see their daughter settled and cultish behavior, she uses the film to express her frustration with societal pressure to get married at near any cost. Through filmmaking, Anisha has been able to learn to be more authentically herself despite the many creative barriers and challenges she faced throughout her 20’s. By following her lifelong passion of storytelling, she has learned to negotiate her creative energy with her religious background, and the anxiety of whether she’s made her family proud.
