We just dropped a new Zero Distance Substack that goes deep on craft, culture and courage with filmmaker and e.l.f. Maker Radha Mehta. 🎬 Radha is a civil engineer turned AFI-trained filmmaker, musician, and visual artist who is one of five WIF Fellows in our e.l.f. Makers program with Women in Film. She’s the kind of disruptor with a kind heart we live for.  Her short film SŪNNA (Hindi for “listen”) follows Lakshmi, a young Indian musician facing sudden hearing loss. Through memory, touch and cultural connection, she finds her way back to self. Radha shares why she waited for the right signal before bringing SŪNNA to life. It’s a masterclass in trusting timing and championing your truth.  She breaks down how musicianship and vibration shaped the film’s language, from sound design to silence, inviting audiences to feel music through the body, memory and emotion.  Founded in 1973, Women in Film has championed gender equity in the screen industries for 50+ years through advocacy, career development and research. Together, WIF and e.l.f. Cosmetics launched the e.l.f. Makers program to support bold filmmakers shaping culture.  Read our latest Substack below: Interview with e.l.f. Maker Radha Mehta.
