What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to blend creativity with impactful storytelling, ideally in a collaborative environment that values innovation and personal growth.

With over 13 years of experience in filmmaking and journalism, I have established myself as a versatile professional known for creating original content for renowned media outlets like MTV and MBC. My journey began as an Audio & Vision Mixer at MTV/MBC, where I honed my skills in video editing and production, eventually rising to the position of Executive Video Editor. My work has always been driven by a commitment to storytelling that resonates with audiences, reflecting the rich tapestry of Sri Lanka's culture and society.

In my role as a Media Coordinator at the Satipasala Foundation, I integrated mindfulness into educational programs, creating digital media content and providing mental counseling. This experience has deepened my understanding of the intersection between media and education, allowing me to craft impactful narratives that engage and inspire. Currently, I am working as a Film Director and Video Editor at Protégé Studio, where I continue to refine my craft and explore new creative avenues.
