I love making stuff and I do it whenever I can. I made my first films as a child, and haven't stopped since. I graduated from Northwestern University's Theatre program in 2021, where I received the Agnes Nixon Playwriting award for my dramedy, Sorry for bringing a knife to the party but in fairness we're way too old for y'all to be renting a bounce house. 

That year, I was also named a finalist for the Warner Brothers Television Actors in Training Program, as well as the ABC Digital Talent Search. ​From there, I signed with Canopy Media Partners, where I am currently represented as an actor. 

​

Films I've been in have been featured at Sundance Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival, and the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, among others. I publish writing regularly at rishimahesh.substack.com.
