Aneesh Chaganty is a writer and director whose 2 minute short film, SEEDS, became an internet sensation after garnering a million YouTube views in 24 hours. Following its success, Aneesh was recruited by Google to develop and direct commercials as part of the Google 5, a team of five young creatives from around the world helping shape the Google brand from New York City. His work has been viewed more than 21 million times online and aired on primetime TV.
