Assistant Director and filmmaker skilled in TV and digital video production, driving efficient on-set execution and storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I am an Assistant Director and filmmaker with hands-on experience leading production across digital and television formats. I have directed over 500 vertical videos for social platforms and worked extensively on web shows and feature projects.
I currently serve as 1st Assistant Director at RVCJ Media and have held AD roles on multiple TVF web shows and feature films; my work was recognized with a Chief Assistant Director nomination at IFFI Goa 2024.
My training spans theatre (IPTA, LTG Repertory) and film craft, including screenwriting, camera and audio, continuity, film scheduling, and editing. I excel at producing PPM decks, call sheets, and managing set operations to keep shoots on schedule.
