Native New Yorker India Burns has never been afraid to take risks. After earning degrees in philosophy and political science, she left her corporate career to travel across Asia and Australia, where she rediscovered her pull toward storytelling. Returning home, she enrolled in the one‑year conservatory at Michael Howard Studios and quickly booked a starring role in the vertical drama Watch Hill, which earned over 1M Instagram views and a Times Square billboard feature. Her work has since expanded to an independent feature, multiple short films, and a lead role in an off-broadway production. Known for her natural instincts and versatility, India is drawn to complex, modern characters who challenge expectations, take risks, and leave a lasting impression.
