‘The High Note’ director Nisha Ganatra on the “absolute dream” of working with Tracee Ellis Ross
Chutney Popcorn followed the attempts of a young Indian lesbian to reconnect with her mother by acting as her sister’s pregnancy surrogate. Jill Hennessey, who later went on to fame as TV’s Crossing Jordan, starred alongside newcomer Nisha Ganatra, who also co-wrote and directed the critically-beloved movie, which is available for purchase on Amazon, iTunes, and Vudu.“It was a labor of love for all of us, both making it and then convincing people that there was an audience for it,” says the director, who is part of the LGBTQ community.
