Bio
Ishan Prakash
Surbhi is a diligent worker. She takes extra initiative to complete her assigned task. She is extremely sincere and reliable
Sulekh Suman
Surbhi is an outstanding editor. She was able to coordinate and create much of the audio visual experience for Engendered Film festival in New York with meager resources. She is a self starter and a critical thinker. She would be an asset on any team. I look forward to a lot more creative output from her in the coming years.
Steve Goodman
It is my pleasure to give Surbhi my highest recommendation. She is extremely reliable, detail oriented, creative, and devoted extra time to make sure the project was completed on deadline. She is a patient teacher, and a strong and dedicated member of the documentary team. I would invite her to work with us again at EVC when she returns to New York.

EVC’s Youth Documentary Workshop is a 15-week credit-bearing course that teaches high school students from across New York City to research, shoot, and edit compelling documentaries that examine community and youth-related issues. I mentored a group of high school students to produce a documentary film "Our Inheritance: Growing Up in a Decade of War" - Today's teenagers can barely remember a time when our country was not at war. Through discussions with young veterans, some who have been deployed multiple times, their families, and Iraqi and American teens, EVC student producers explore what 10 years of war have meant to today's generation of youth, both here and overseas.
