Adi Shankar is an Indian-American film producer, writer, YouTube personality, and actor—best known for producing Castlevania (2017), Dredd (2012), and his "Bootleg Universe" One-Shot series of unauthorized pop culture satire films. Having spent a nomadic childhood in cities all around the globe, he was constantly the outsider looking in. Adi reflects on how his work reflected those experiences, subverting stereotypes in media, and the newfound popularity of "niche" genres in mainstream television.
