Filmmaker Statement

Blood Moon is a coming of age film and a meditation on menstruation—a regular part of life rarely seen on screen. As a filmmaker, I realized there are very few realistic representations about this seminal moment in a girl's life—especially an Indian-American girl. With this film, I wanted to portray what it’s like to have a period in a society that treats the natural process of menstruation as something to be hidden, and through that, I wanted to celebrate the female relationships that build strength and solidarity through it all.
