Riya Thorat

I am a multifaceted creative professional with a rich background in scriptwriting, acting, and producing. Recently shortlisted for the Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize for my script idea titled Daisy and Jack, I have also had the honor of having my script Nefertiti selected by the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, inspired by Nefertiti (Black Power). My acting experience includes the play Indigo Giant produced by the Komola Collective, and participating in Mass Declamations by The Common Lot.

I have a solid foundation in media and communication, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication from Symbiosis Centre, and currently pursuing an MA in Creative Writing (Scriptwriting) from the University of East Anglia. My professional journey includes roles such as producer for the short film JalPari, 2nd Assistant Director for Shree Films, Direction Intern at Good Morning Films, and Associate Producer roles at Vitamin Stree and Stone Soup Productions, contributing across diverse projects ranging from short films to YouTube video content.
