Queen of the Remote Control

A 17-year-old is caught between the San Fernando and Silicon Valleys while her parents are stuck between yesteryear’s Indian poverty and today’s American affluence in this comic disconnect between first and second generation Indian America. Two Indian-born physicians leading an affluent California life find themselves at the edge of a brave new NASDAQ world in which wealth and success are redefined, while their adolescent daughter, hooked on television, tunes in and out her family (and its secrets) as quickly as she changes channels.

Queen of the Remote Control is written by Sujata Bhatt, and directed by Aditi Kapil.
