Vijeet Chaugule
Filmmaker Bio
Vijeet Chaugule is a gender non-conforming filmmaker born in San Jose, California, by two Indian immigrant parents. Growing up in a disciplined household, Vijeet refused to conform to cultural expectations and pursued a Bachelor's degree in Film and Communications at SFSU. After a brief pause during the 2020 pandemic, they chose to pursue a master’s in film at LMU.
Their work centers on characters from abusive, oppressive environments, fighting for self-expression, sexuality and identity. Now, Vijeet eats, sleeps, and breathes film as they believe that storytelling has the power to challenge hatred and ignite hope for future generations.
"I wanted to create films because I saw people, causes and communities that other people were afraid to speak up for. Now, in this divided state of the world, I'm never gonna freakin stop telling the stories that are needed. "
