Where stories bring us together. 🎬✨

On today’s episode of The Bridge with @sammychand , @ajnagpal — Executive Director of the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) — joins the conversation for a powerful look into the evolving world of cinema.

As a celebrated producer and a leading voice behind one of the most influential South Asian film festivals in North America, Anjay has played a key role in championing diverse storytelling and creating space for South Asian creatives on a global stage. 🌍

In this episode, he reflects on how, no matter how media consumption continues to change, there’s still something irreplaceable about coming together to watch a film — the shared experience, the emotion, and the collective connection that only cinema can create.

He also dives into the vision behind IFFLA and why platforms like this remain essential in celebrating stories that deserve to be seen and felt. 🎥

Congrats to co-director @veltchlives and EP @yvette.y.z on @theascentfilm. A epic climbing film and riveting true crime doc all in one. What an accomplishment. If you’re @sxsw go see this! Climber Mandy Horvath is an inspiration. by @rukusavenueradio

A journey of FAITH. A fight for FREEDOM. A testimony of RESILIENCE.

Every episode is raw, powerful, emotional, and filled with purpose.

🎬 What an inspiring evening at the screening of Humans in the Loop!

A powerful story exploring the intersection of ancestral and artificial intelligence through the journey of an indigenous woman in India who trains AI.

It was a pleasure meeting writer-director @aranya.sahay, executive producer @misaq.la and @indianfilmfestival Executive Director @ajnagpal and celebrating this globally acclaimed film—winner of multiple Best Film awards and now an Oscar contender for Best Original Screenplay!

Proud to support South Asian stories making waves worldwide. 🌍✨

🎟️ Screening for 2 more days at Lumiere Cinema, LA – don’t miss it!

Some big news to share! I’m honored and very excited to step into the role of Executive Director for the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA).

Along with Sundance, IFFLA is probably the festival Ive attended most, and I’m genuinely pumped to give back to the community that has helped my career in so many ways. This is a bit of an unexpected turn, and I can’t wait to champion the incredible films and filmmakers that come through the festival.

While this new commitment is keeping my creative energy flowing, I’ll continue to work with select consulting clients and on a few individual projects.

Excited for IFFLA 2026. Lots more news to come!

This movie is going to be amazing. Ravi wrote one of the funniest/smartest/boldest scripts I’ve read in some time and as a result a brilliant cast came on to make this happen. Was so fun spending time on set with old friends and making new ones too. Follow @patel_themovie to find out more. Congrats to @ravikapoorla @lamegs @kalpenn @kunalkarmanayyar @ashim.ahuja and all the rest of the crew. by @rukusavenueradio
