About Me

About me

Hey there!

I’m a lover of good stories, beautiful visuals, and chai. And as a Filmmaker, I get to integrate all three into one awesome job. I’m currently working on my feature film passion project “Somahelang”, a story based in Kinnaur valley of Himachal.

Against the odds, My parents sent me to photoshop coaching classes when I was in 7th standard and then my journey to become a software geek never stopped. From editing to color grading, I’ve learned filmmaking’s technical aspects and use them to make my work shine. It all started back in 2016 when I worked as an assistant editor for Mr. Chandrashekhar Prajapati. The following year, I got to help Mr. Nicola Gasparri with DI color grading, and this taught me a lot about the technical side of filmmaking.

I’ve worked on some incredible projects since then, some of which have even been acquired by Netflix. My visual storytelling abilities have improved due to these experiences, and I’m thrilled to work as a cinematographer today.

Recently I had the opportunity to master the creative craft of cinematography in greater detail while assisting Mr. Siddharth Diwan on an upcoming movie.

Bringing all the knowledge together, I made my directorial debut short film “Malwa Khushan” in 2023. The film saw a successful run at various international film festivals including the Iris Prize, Dharamshala, KASHISH, and Mardi Gras etc. I have won the Riyad Wadia award for the best emerging Indian Filmmaker at the KASHISH festival 2023.

Oh, and I’m also a co-founder of Longway Studios, where I get to collaborate with some very interesting people and produce some cool content.
