Malhaar Gupte

I am a dedicated MFA student in Screenwriting with a robust foundation in story structure, development, and creative collaboration. My journey has taken me across Los Angeles, New York City, and Hong Kong, where I have honed my skills in editing and screenwriting. I am passionate about narrative clarity and emotional pacing, striving to create compelling stories that resonate with audiences.

As a Freelance Video Editor and Story Consultant, I have collaborated with various studios, editing short films and branded content while also contributing as a creative director on narrative scripts. My role as a Script Development Facilitator at the Rickshaw Film Foundation allowed me to mentor emerging writers, guiding them through the intricacies of character development and story structure in a collaborative environment.

My experience as a Film Production Intern at Smartypants Pictures under an Oscar-nominated director provided me with invaluable insights into the production process, where I supported research, casting, and pre-production logistics. I have also worked closely with Emmy-winning editors, refining my skills in narrative structure and emotional pacing during post-production.
