Shashwat Punjabi strives to help create character-driven, high-concept Films and TV Shows. A recent graduate of Loyola Marymount University with a BFA in Film & Television Production, Shashwat has directed and produced narrative and documentary shorts that have screened in the US, Germany, and India. His most recent short, FIXED MEMORY, won the Audience Choice Award at the Brooklyn Science Fiction Film Festival.

Shashwat works at Verve Talent and Literary Agency, which he joined three weeks after graduating college. At Verve, he’s worked with the company’s biggest agents across Motion Picture, TV, Talent, and Publishing. Shashwat developed a passion for producing by seeing the development process up close while interning at Oscar-winning production company Atlas Entertainment (OPPENHEIMER, THE DARK KNIGHT) and indie production company ShivHans Pictures (HITMAN, TO KILL A TIGER).

Shashwat seeks to connect Indian and American Film and TV industries, bringing creatives together to tell subversive stories about the diaspora and the human condition. He’s currently producing a web show titled STARGAZER and developing an original short to be shot in 2025 with multiple short films in the film festival circuit.
