Biography

Her parents named her after the character in Pather Panchali (1955).

Bose has cited filmmakers Agnès Varda and Wong Kar-Wai as influences on her work.

She met and became friends with title designer Teddy Blanks during shooting Tiny Furniture (2010), in which they were extras.

A lot of my credit goes to my producers because they really tried to say yes before they said no. They always tried to meet me as near to my vision as possible.

Sometimes I worry that people are critical of my work because maybe I'm too reliant on a style or a mood or an aesthetic. But it's very hard to create a world, especially when you're working with collaborators. It's not like you have control of all the gears. You're saying, "I want to work with you so I trust how you're going to interpret my notes or my vision or my idea, my half-baked idea." There's something that happens in that in-between space between you and your collaborator.

I love every aspect of movies being made. Every element - all the jobs that go into a single film - and titles have always been so fascinating to me.

I love when things like titles - or any design element, let's say - is not a literal reflection of what you're about to experience but is in the same orbit.
