Sheetal earned an early reputation for tackling social taboos with her early short film work with GOD DANK VIR KLANK (2012) a mockumentary about Die Antwoord and the appropriation of ‘Zef Culture' as well as THE FALL OF GANESH (2015) a slice of life that looks at race in suburban SA. She is captivated by the idea of a new African lens and novel storytelling in the global south. Atman Media Lab, a woman-led indie outfit is her creative home. She is currently in development on her feature film THE DAY AND NIGHT OF BRAHMA with Urucu Media. Other projects include ACTS OF MAN, a neo-noir crime drama for the BBC, and THE QUEUE, a dystopian telling of life after the Arab Spring in the vein of Orwell's 1984, with the Film Clinic in Egypt.
