Harjus Sethi, a second-year graduate student of Chapman’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, has been chosen to ride on the first-ever Sikh American float in the 2015 Rose Parade on New Year’s Day.
Sethi was selected by the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, United Sikh Mission, SikhLens and the Khalsa Care Foundation.
Sethi, who is studying to be a film director at Chapman, is considered to be a rising talent by the organizations, which hope to increase Sikh American Awareness.
“I knew that with film, I’d have the freedom to create something uniquely my own and direct projects that show a greater understanding of the Sikh community by placing Sikh actors in lead roles,” Sethi said.
On New Year’s Day, Sikh will be seen atop the float in Pasadena wearing a turban designed by Bicky Singh, the founder of the SikhLens’ Sikh Arts & Film Festival that has been held at Chapman since 2001. The turban was designed by tie-dying cardinal red and gray – the colors of Chapman.
