Hi, I’m Neff Bash, a writer-director focused on stories shaped by South Asian–Middle Eastern heritage, specifically the Indian diaspora. My work explores toxic masculinity, power, and internalized bias through emotionally grounded narratives. I come from a South Indian family rooted in the arts—my father is an independent filmmaker in Kerala, my mother a visual artist, and my sister a filmmaker and graphic designer. This didn’t hand me a path, but sharpened my sensitivity to image and meaning. Raised in the UAE and now based in Berlin, I draw from a diaspora defined by contradiction and unspoken hierarchies. I studied at the New York Film Academy and am developing work that confronts control and inherited prejudice. Influenced by Dog Day Afternoon, Audition, and Punch-Drunk Love, I aim to create films that unsettle and reveal uncomfortable truths.
