Sunny Tripathy is a writer / filmmaker who paid his way through UCLA with day jobs that included working at Jamba Juice, teaching at a Yeshiva Gedolah, and modeling for Indian grocery stores— which is not a joke. He sold his first TV show to 20th CENTURY FOX out of college and later sold a series with SONY TELEVISION to AMAZON after a highly competitive bidding war. Tripathy cut his teeth in features developing his original spec with Ivan Reitman and Amie Karp before selling it to TRISTAR. He has a myriad of projects in development, and just finished writing an animated feature for DREAMWORKS with David Hoberman producing. Tripathy is signed to UTA, 42, and Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler.
