About Faroukh
Editor. Filmmaker. Storyteller.
Faroukh Virani is an LA based editor who works within both narrative and documentary formats, as he finds one storytelling style informs the other in his work. Faroukh has recent post-production credits on ABC's "High Potential," CW's “WALKER,” Amazon's "HUNTERS," and feature documentary "Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles."
Faroukh is interested in supporting diverse voices behind the camera and on screen, and has served as mentor for the Armed With A Camera fellowship and Shorts Programmer for the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
Growing up, his parents operated an Indian video rental store and the style of Bollywood cinema greatly influences his creative work. His science fiction thesis film “VIMANA” won best dramatic short at USC’s First Look Festival and his subsequent short projects have been featured and distributed through Comcast’s AAPI Heritage Month Showcase, PBS, and Alaska Airlines. Faroukh has a background in Film Production at USC's School of Cinematic Arts and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and is a current member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild.
