Director's Bio

Sabchu Rinpoché was born in Nepal and studied Buddhist philosophy and meditation for over twenty years. After traveling and teaching for several years in the West, Rinpoché noticed the power of visual media. Seeing film as a helpful contemporary lens for contemplative inquiry, he decided to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Media Production. Sabchu Rinpoché translates English, Tibetan, Hindi, and Nepali, and he brings these linguistic abilities to his work. He is strict and innovative in technique, seeing the strength of film shine most strongly in carefully produced works.
