Making a career out of film-making requires painstaking determination, resilience, and vision. It can be a tough road to travel. For Kenyan writerdirector Sippy Chadha, following your bliss is her modus operandi. Passionate, intelligent and with a keen eye for films that challenge perceptions of culture and society, Sippy Chadha, by and large, has immersed herself in the world of women in a given situation. We talk to her on bringing a personal story to life and her insights and experiences as one such filmmaker
CA: Who is Sippy Chadha?
SC: Sippy is one passionate woman, who believes in living life as a celebration and digging deeper into a more fulfilling life. I am also a mother, a wife, a humanist, and a filmmaker. Up until a few years ago, I used to work in financial services until I decided to pursue my passion in filmmaking by telling my stories. I have written, directed and produced four short films; Subira (2007), Tick Tock (2006), Kibera Kid (2006) and Charcoal Traffic (2008). Subira has received global recognition and won 10 international awards. It was actually the first Kenyan short film to premiere at Cannes Film Festival. My hunger to do my next masterpiece and tell my stories on a worldstage pushed me to produce Subira (2018) which is set to premiere in November.

What's Your Shade?
I have seen many a red in my time. Some have made me cringe. If it weren’t for the exceptionally high maintenance of red colour, I would run home and shampoo it all off. Some have been stunners, blessedly. You would imagine women with darker complexion would not be able to rick blonde and red shades. Would you be surprised if I told you there is a wide range of colour you can experiment with?
