Moitri Ghosh is an Indian-born, Atlanta-based queer director whose perspective is shaped by growing up across India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and the US. Driven by her fascination with human behavior and visual aesthetics, she studied Psychology and Graphic Design at Smith College before spending a decade producing for clients like Amex and IBM at Ogilvy, and later for MasterClass.

Her directing work includes BY DESIGN (Tasveer Film Fund winner, supported by Netflix Fund for Creative Equity), ASHA (NewFest Concord Sound and Scene grant winner), the award-winning CHOOSE YOU, and MasterClasses with Olympic champion Joan Benoit Samuelson and James Beard Award-winner Mashama Bailey.

Moitri brings wit, heart, and visual precision to stories that invite audiences to view the familiar with new eyes.
