About
Dev Raghunathan grew up in Brampton and still lives twenty minutes from the house Brampton Winter was shot in, which belongs to his aunt. He spent eleven years as a camera assistant and then an operator on Toronto commercials and series television, which paid for the features, and he still takes operating work when a film needs finishing money. He shoots his own shorts and hires Wen Zhao when he is directing something long enough that he cannot do both jobs. His scripts start as arguments he has actually had. He works in English and Punjabi, sometimes inside the same sentence, and refuses to subtitle the Punjabi in his own kitchen scenes, which has cost him at least one distributor. He cuts with Nadia Krupa. He shot Priya Venkataraman's Month to Month in a single Saturday for the price of lunch.
