About

My Name is Shyam Karki. I was born on 21st July 1984, and raised in the village of Banepa, Kavre on the outskirts of the Kathmandu Valley.My career in the film industry started 15 years ago when I got involved working with Kesang Tseten the renowned screenwriter from Nepal.I worked with Kesang at Shunyata Films on his works such as Castaway Man, Hospital, Trembling Mountain, Out of the corner, and The Realist. I later spent some years in the Middle East where I worked in the national media house in Dubai as construction progress photographer and videographer. Later when I returned to Nepal, I worked as a video journalist for some of the International News Channels. While doing so, I also worked on my own films. u ayo ayo (The experience), BLOCKADE, In my town,Travel is plus plus, Keri china ( I have nothing) were some of my films that were screened nationally. My passion for being an aspiring documentary filmmaker was not only limited to films. I also worked commercially for some of the developmental and project progress films to the local organizations and NGOs.They were mostly hydropower and drinking water projects like JICA Nepal (Pokhara water treatment and Story Chanel). Currently, I am involved in running a production house based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Besides that I provide workshops and equipment rentals to some of the local filmmakers. Also providing logistical support to filmmakers coming in Nepal to produce a film. The experience of working for almost two decades in this industry has inspired me to grow and pursue better storytelling, here in Nepal.
