Discover Top Fixers in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

In my nine years in journalism, I've covered a diverse range of topics, including climate, politics, disasters, and gender issues in South India. I've worked as a one-woman-army, handling reporting, editing, camerawork, and research. Previously, I served as a digital journalist with The Quint, following stints at NDTV and Hindustan Times. A recipient of a grant from the Earth Journalism Network, I investigated marine pollution caused by a titanium factory in Kerala. In 2023, I was the Social Media Ambassador for the Green Landscapes Forum and consulted with Internews, developing a renewable energy learning module.A notable project of mine featured a multimedia immersive with two documentaries on Chennai's water scarcity. It earned accolades for 'Best Use of Aerial Videography' and 'Best Interactive Story' and later I was asked to give a TEDX talk. Additionally, I am adept at mobile journalism, storyboarding, production, podcasting, writing, documentary filming, and SEO practices.

Hey, my name is Mukund and I'm a freelance filmmaker from Chennai, India. I've been making films for the past 7 years and I have a burning passion for telling stories. Over the past 4 years, I've gotten into filmmaking professionally and I've worked on a variety of different projects - everything from ads to shortfilms to documentaries to educational videos to you name it. I have a very unique way of approaching cinema and storytelling and I'm not limited by a style. I think a film is only as good as its edit so I take it very seriously. Over the past few years, I've refined my editing skills and I have very little difficulty coming up with a treatment for any project I work on. My portfolio : www.mknd.in
