About me

Currently working on multiple projects with Anshraj Entertainment as associate director. I have directed, written and edited multiple short films, corporate shorts, wedding, pre-wedding and family shoots. I have also written 2 ads for an ad agency pertaining to Health Insurance and the launch of a new Shoes brand. I am passionate about the process of filmmaking, and am thoroughly involved in the entire process and as such possess a strong ability to create a unique vision for the script. I have worked with actors and non-actors (possessing talent) and have brought out out the best in them. I am proficient in use of software like Yamdu, Celtx and StudioBinder (Industry standard online paid tool) for Screenwriting, scene breakdown, shot list creation, scheduling & budgeting in MS Excel. Usage of Index Cards to create story plot and re-arrange for best impact for both Linear and Non-Linear Storytelling. I have edited around 15 videos for various events like weddings, corporate events, government assignments, and all my short films. I have extensive knowledge of Adobe premiere and after effects and the same can be seen in my short films for which I've implemented morph cuts, Wire removal and cleanup using Mocha Pro, graphics for titles, and various details.
