executive producer
In addition to be being a writer and an actor, Vee has served as executive producer on the following award-winning short films:
HALWA received the HBO Asia Pacific American Visionaries Award.
YATRA: The Journey, garnered many accolades and had a successful participation in film festivals.
Vee on why she supports and finances short films:
I am a storyteller, and stories come to me readily. I am a budding novelist, and I
love the expanse that the long form allows for a writer to play with. However, I
find screenwriting a difficult process.
So my approach is to find the next story worth telling, hopefully a twist on an
already-told story, and hire a screenwriter to create the script.
I am not independently wealthy and the money I put behind my stories comes from
my retirement income. For this reason, a selfish one, I only finance short films in
which I am the protagonist.
