Rahul Chaturvedi · Toronto

Rahul Chaturvedi is a CSA and WGC nominated writer-director working across scripted, unscripted, and kids' television. He is the co-creator and director of 18 to 35 (Bell Fibe TV1), a workplace comedy featuring Jean Yoon, Andrew Phung, and Ali Hassan — and a storyteller drawn to characters who are funny, complicated, and deeply human.

Other writing credits include Late Bloomer (Crave), Potluck Ladies (Yes TV), and Run the Burbs (CBC, Hulu). Rahul has also directed and story-produced on Bollywed (CBC, Netflix) and served as consulting producer for Battle of the Generations (CTV), collaborating closely with Lilly Singh.

His award-winning short Forbidden Tikka Masala was licensed by CBC, TIFF, and Air Canada. Rahul is the author of the upcoming graphic novel Namaste Santa with KidsCanPress.
