Mrittika ‘Mou’ Sarin is a queer screenwriter and filmmaker, born in India, raised in the States and lived everywhere in between. She uses this cross-cultural fluency and outside-in perspective to explore complex people, identities and relationships. She has a story by credit on NBC’s CHICAGO MED and has written on CRIMINAL JUSTICE, a BBC adaptation of THE NIGHT OF for India. Her family dramedy and queer rom-com HOW TO HAVE SEX ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS is the winner of the 2025 BlueCat Screenplay Competition. She has been granted development funds from the Athena Film Festival, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Tribeca Film Festival for her climate thriller SCARCE. Before getting her MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA, she was a development executive in Mumbai. This is what she loves most about filmmaking: transcending borders.
