Today we’d like to introduce you to Athreya Ram. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Independent filmmaker Athreya Ram is making waves in the film industry with his thought-provoking and socially conscious films. Originally from India, Athreya Ram moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to pursue his passion for filmmaking. Since then, he has been making short films and music videos, and most recently produced a feature film titled “Blue Wilderness”, shot during the pandemic. Athreya Ram’s thesis short film, “Torn Plaid,” is currently under film festival run and addresses the issue of racial discrimination towards brown-skinned people in America. The story follows Krishna Sharma, a 23-year-old artist from India who moves to Los Angeles to pursue his career. He befriends River, who later joins a group of Neo-Nazis after the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing. Together they betray Krishna, highlighting the issue of discrimination minorities still face in America.
I make films to tell stories that people are new to and need to hear,” said Athreya Ram. “I bring in a social element to all my stories to add realism to it so that it’s relatable to the audience as well as being interesting. It should make them want to question themselves, ‘what if I was in this person’s shoes’?”
Athreya Ram’s ultimate goal is to inspire both audiences and fellow filmmakers with his films and share the knowledge of life that he possesses. As an immigrant, Athreya Ram is actively seeking PR and news articles for himself and his films in hopes of fulfilling the requirements to apply for permanent residency in the United States.
With a strong work ethic and a dedication to his craft, Athreya Ram is quickly becoming a sought-after producer and director in the film industry.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
COVID-19, immigrancy in order to obtain permanent citizenship to pursue the career I built here. With more PR, I’ll be able to fulfill my requirement to get a green card.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a film writer/producer/director who thrives to tell high-concept stories built within the same story world through the concept of Transmedia in order to make simple but effective films that contain some sort of social element to it that’s relevant to the current world we’re living in. Using old-school film techniques with state-of-the-art industry technology, I want to tell stories that my audience can relate to. In order to make them feel, what if this happened to me?
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Leadership, optimism, tireless running around and hard work. These are just some of the few characteristics that I possess.
