Siddharth Anand Kumar

Siddharth was born in New Delhi, India. He was active in the amateur
theatrical group TAG in Delhi from an early age playing various roles
in English plays. He turned to filmmaking as a career from a desire to
further explore the art of telling stories. He studied filmmaking at
Hampshire College in Massachussetts and got his first job as an AD to
Mira Nair during the making of Kamasutra (1995). He was recruited to
play a small part in the movie when date conflict arose with a
previously cast actor. This led to him playing the role of Prem in the
film. Upon his return to India, he started working as a
cinematographer, shooting documentaries and TV serials (Rajdhani - Star
TV, 2000). He was the curator of India's first ever digital film
festival (the digital talkies festival) in 2001, and then wrote and
directed Let's Enjoy (2004). He now lives in Mumbai, India, the capital
of the Indian Film Industry.
