Nainita Desai

This week on the podcast, our guest is sound designer and composer Nainita Desai!

Nainita’s worked on documentaries, film, tv,  commercials, musicals, video games... her credits are amazing and so is she! She’s the first composer we’ve had as a guest!

She has scored countless BAFTA, Oscar, Emmy acclaimed productions including 2020’s FOR SAMA. Her most recently released project is the Sundance Doc Audience Award winning THE REASON I JUMP, an immersive film exploring the experiences of non speaking autistic people from around the world. It just came out this past Friday, along with the first single and music video! You can follow the film @reasonIjumpfilm to hear the music and find out where you can watch. 

Over 95 percent of composers are men, and we need more Nainitas!
