Two Filmmakers

Tsultrim Dorjee:
Tsultrim Dorjee co-directed, co-produced and cinematographed three feature films, two documentaries and several shorts under Seykhar Films. Earlier Tsultrim served Tibetan Govt. in Exile for about twelve years in numerous capacities. He is a man of resources and knowledge when it comes to the functioning and bureaucracy of the Tibetan exile world. In 2003, to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker, Tsultrim took a leave from his full-time job and studied Digital Film Production at Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan, Bangalore, India. His final project for the Diploma was an interesting short story about a young monk, ‘Little Monk’ which is appreciated not only by his classmates but also by the professors and teachers at the Institute. Tsultrim’s keen interest in technology traces back to his childhood days when he used to open radio set, disassemble and then reassemble the parts by himself.
