IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a multi-disciplinary filmmaker with 8+ years of experience, shaping ideas into cinematic experiences. I’m fluent across direction, production, and post-production workflows, balancing a strong creative instinct with structured execution and calm leadership.
As a Creative Director, I’ve directed campaigns and content including “30 BALLS TO SCORE 60” for Red Bull YouTube and worked on Amazon “AUR DIKHAO.” I’ve also been involved with Netflix pilots (DA’D for Nishant Nayak), bringing stories that feel intentional, polished, and emotionally grounded.
My work extends from pre to post: I’ve pitched, written, directed, produced, and edited multiple short films and documentaries (including Fiction and Documentary-drama). I also collaborated with screenwriters to develop engaging scripts for short films, documentaries, and feature films.
I operate as a reliable bridge between production and post-production—serving as a primary point of contact, updating project status, and handling issues that arise. I’ve also overseen the Digital Intermediate process for 944 various film and television projects and music video work, ensuring smooth transitions from production to post-production.
