Her credits include commercially and critically acclaimed blockbusters such as Kung Fu Panda 4, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Croods: A New Age, Penguins of Madagascar, Boss Baby, Wonder Woman, Fantastic Beast and Venom to name a few.
Beyond her filmmaking career, Pramita is deeply committed to mentorship and advocacy for women in animation and visual effects. She has been a mentor with Women in Animation (WIA) for over five years, guiding more than 110 young women across the US, Canada, Europe and parts of Africa , many of whom have successfully launched careers in the industry along with delivering 9 short films projects and art work in the process. She is a member of the Visual Effects Society (VES) and serves on the VES Awards Committee. Early in 2024, she joined the Board of Directors for Asians in Animation (AIA), furthering her mission to uplift underrepresented voices in the industry and mentoring their leadership. She is also an active public speaker and a Jury in various animation film festivals and conferences. |
