About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To dive into deeper waters ,cut through denser jungles ,wave at the world with a smile , with me , my backpack and my camera

ABOUT ME

My understanding of Indian culture is chromatically bizarre owing to the diversity that is firmly embedded in our society . Somewhere between the extremes of our social norms , I've found a neutral spot of operation..or maybe i'm still looking for it , but from this spot of indifference and temperance I want to ride the wave of change . The Indian movie going audience , is today a target of a horrid visual entity , served to them neat and non-pixelated, by a largely prejudiced and ignorant film industry , in the name of commercial cinema . Storytelling in India has been lost in the intricate dictates of complexity , borrowed from Hollywood or cinema from other countries . The work ethics though could not be matched adding to cultural ramifications and social intolerance that has ruined a once celebrated film culture . My mission as a filmmaker from India, is to put my ideas and interpretations out there through my art ,for not only Indians but the entire global community at large . My mission as an artist is to mimic the creator of most beautiful thing ever created , Mother Earth.

PHILOSOPHY

I am you and what I see is me .
