Annapurna

During an earlier trip a year ago, I was hopeful I would be able to see the mighty Himalayan peaks on a trek in the mesmerising Annapurna region – but had hardly any luck there either.

Making her feature debut as writer-director, Annapurna Sriram also stars in ‘F—toys,” a ribald, campy journey as a young woman attempts to lift a curse placed on her.

Adams, who is also a producer on “Nightbitch,” felt deeply connected to the book, the movie rights to which Annapurna Pictures secured in a competitive auction months before it was published.

That growth has been noticed overseas - 24 Bit Games was bought by Californian game publisher, Annapurna Interactive, in November.

She later founded Annapurna Pictures, maker of critically acclaimed films including “Zero Dark Thirty.”
