Howdy! Salutations! Companions! After spreading colors all across the world with ‘Colored Glasses On’ We are now embarking on a new journey with ‘Filmontary’. Over the years we have achieved and collaborated with clients across the globe. Well! We don’t want to boast but there are some little names in our kitty like Google, Disney, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg Originals, Voice of America, CGTN News, China Plus, Fairfleet, Business Insider, BMW, The Länd, McGraw Hill, Oxford University Press Pocket FM, Jung Von Matt among them. We don’t even travel enough it’s just that we have worked across the globe in Norway, Sweden, United States, United Kingdom, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, France, UAE, Switzerland, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Israel, Yemen, Bahrain, Albania, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Democratic Republic of Congo. Jokes Apart it’s all because we have been able to garner and develop relations with clients and partners across the globe to bring about the best of their visions. The most valuable asset in media and films is relations. The efforts, the casting, the production, the design, the big machinery, the cameras, the lenses, the dollies, the jibs are just an outcome of those relations. We collaborate and create the reason why we have adopted the name ‘Filmontary’. A term that signifies this amalgamation of ‘Films’ & ‘Documentaries’. Kudos!

I am a self-shooting producer-director. I have been trained at the BBC in UK in filmmaking and have over eight years of experience working on various productions ranging from print to digital to tv to theatrical with almost all major broadcasters and platforms. While I specialise in cinematic shooting, I am flexible and adaptive to the vision of the platform, brand and producer. Whether it's an artistic shoot or coverage or ASMR or 360degree, I cover them all. I work with minimal crew and mostly with my own equipment unless the production requires very specific equipment. I am always curious to hear of new, unheard stories and discuss unique ways of presenting for one's target audience.

I am an independent filmmaker based out of Mumbai. In my 7 years working as a professional, I have worked on numerous projects, creating multiple video featurettes and edits for clients ranging from Netflix India, Disney Marvel to The Whole Truth, amongst others. My contribution for these projects has been diverse, ranging from a director, editor, videographer, and a producer. As a result, this has given me an active knowledge of the workings of every stage of video production. In my personal work, I aim to apply and experiment with this knowledge at every possible intervention, and explore a spectrum of mediums, genres and processes; ranging from documentary to fiction to music videos. This includes experimental work on analog mediums of 8mm and 16mm film, some of which has been showcased internationally as part of an ongoing film programme at Harkat Studios.
