I’m Mahita and I love all things film, photo, and design.
I’m a junior at American University studying Film & Media Arts, with minors in Business & Entertainment and Graphic Design. I’m originally from Marlboro, New Jersey, and grew up adoring my TV. As much as I loved all the movies and shows I watched, I longed to see someone like myself on screen. I want to diversify the industry and create things I’m really proud of.
I love cinematography and have always been drawn to beautiful, striking visuals. I also love directing because of my love of working with others. When I’m feeling a bit more solitary, editing always has my back.
While film is my main passion, I’ve found myself loving photography, especially film photography! I shoot and process my own film, occasionally stepping into the darkroom to print when I’m feeling fancy. What I love about film photography especially is how much room there is for experimentation. Photoshop is my favorite Adobe app like so many others, but learning that much of the app’s tools are based in real life techniques that can be accomplished in the darkroom really blew my mind. I’ve been hooked on photography ever since.
