Moitri Ghosh is an Indian-born, Atlanta-based director and a Third Culture Kid raised in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and the US. Driven by her fascination with human behavior and visual aesthetics, Moitri studied Psychology and Graphic Design at Smith College.

Before directing, she spent a decade as a producer for Ogilvy advertising for clients like Amex, IBM, and Comcast and as a producer for MasterClass. Her directing credits include two multi-cam MasterClasses and her award-winning narrative short CHOOSE YOU.

In late 2024, Moitri won two grants to make short films from the Tasveer Film Fund sponsored by Netflix (BY DESIGN) and the NewFest Concord Sound and Scene Short Film Initiative (ASHA). Whether exploring themes of societal expectations, conflicting identities, or self-alignment, Moitri’s work is an invitation to view the familiar with new eyes.
