RTF student film in race for the Oscars
Sachin Dheeraj's "Testimony of Ana" could enter best documentary short film category
Sachin Dheeraj didn’t start off as a filmmaker. He got his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering and worked as a software engineer. He remembers as a kid he always loved movies, but it wasn’t until he started watching foreign language films as an adult that he became seriously interested in cinema, enough so that he began working on film sets in graduate school, fetching water and holding umbrellas for the cast and crew when it was raining.
