I would like to know about an actress named Govindini Murty. Apparently, her husband is a conservative independent filmmaker (there is such a thing?) and she stars in his movies.
Festival Co-Director Actress/Writer Govindini Murty came to the US to attend Yale University , where she received a BA in East Asian Studies. While at Yale, Govindini served as Chair of the Women's Caucus of the Yale Political Union, Vice-Chair of the Independent Party, and columnist for the Yale Daily News . Govindini recently acted in, co-wrote and executive produced the independent feature Terminal Island with her husband, Jason Apuzzo. She's also a film columnist for HollywoodRepublicans.com, and will be featured as a guest critic on AMC's The Movie Club (pilot). Govindini has been mentored in her film criticism career by Michael Medved. She's otherwise worked in film, TV, commercials and theater in Vancouver and Los Angeles . She played numerous roles as a member of the Long Beach Shakespeare Company, won a Best Actress Award for her role as Margot in Dial M for Murder, and has written eight screenplays. |
Festival Co-Director Writer-Director Jason Apuzzo recently finished his debut feature, the film noir thriller Terminal Island . Jason was mentored in this project by Irvin Kershner (dir., Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ). Jason graduated from the USC School of Cinema-TV in 2001 with an MFA in Production. Jason's USC thesis short, San Pedro, is the most watched student short on the internet over the last three years. Jason's mentor at USC was ©Academy Award winning sound engineer Tom Holman, inventor of the THX sound system. Prior to USC, Jason received his Ph.D. in Germanic Literature from Stanford University , and a BA in Philosophy from Yale University . While at Yale, Jason founded The Yale Free Press , one of the nation's first conservative college newspapers, and was elected Speaker of the Yale Political Union.
