Sheraz Bhatti
New York City
Sheraz Bhatti is a digital marketer, film/web producer, community manager, and social media junkie. Growing up in a household of creatives, Sheraz gained an early affinity for appreciating film, books, and writing. Creativity has always been encouraged throughout Sheraz's life, and he began writing and drawing at an early age. In fact, at the age of 8, he had one of his illustrations published in Albany's Times Union newspaper. Later, in high school, while other kids were writing essays, Sheraz would often produce, film, and edit short videos for class projects. After attending Siena College where he earned a degree in marketing, Sheraz channeled his creativity towards social media and community building for a technology startup. His true passion, however, lies in creating art through film and writing. He has continued to do so by producing several web-series, including Landing in Mumbai and ManDate; short films like Ethnic Breath Mints; and the Off-Off Broadway production of Bollywood Wedding, which played to sold-out audiences.
