Me, briefly.

Filmmaker.

Jury's Choice — Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival, 2024.

World Premiere — Coliseum International Film Festival, Rome, 2023.

OTT Post-Production — Deluxe Media (Netflix, Warner Bros., Prime, Disney+).

I studied Journalism, then spent most of college in the media lab making experimental shorts and cutting found footage, working out how a story gets put together. Editing, cinematography and sound design pulled me in one by one, and I've been building from all three ever since.

I make films about people the camera usually walks past, like the ageing balloon seller and the hungry kids of Duel for a Dimtoast. I want strangers to feel each other's pain and each other's joy as their own.

I've directed short fiction, documentaries and a commission for Tata Steel Foundation, and shot and edited a feature documentary that premiered in Rome. By day I work in OTT post-production at Deluxe Media, across Netflix, Warner Bros., Amazon Prime and Disney+ pipelines, so I've seen what it costs when production and platform never talk.

I don't sit on ideas. They become films, essays, apps. Next: Garments, a feature on the skin we're born in and what losing it might mean.

I'd like to work with people who make things that follow you home. Write to me.
