About me
I've been making and editing films for over 6+ years, working across documentaries, brand advertisements, and high-stakes on-set roles.
Currently based at Felis Films in Bengaluru, I edit and manage data on National Geographic productions with BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Sandesh Kadur. Before that, I was on the ground across India for David Blaine's NatGeo series, running DIT across an international crew.
I have a Master's degree in animal behaviour, which is probably why wildlife and natural history work feels like home. But the instinct that comes with it, for pacing, for what an audience needs to feel next, is what I bring to every project, whether it's a 75-minute documentary or a 60-second brand film.
I'm a one-person post-production department. I write, shoot, edit, grade, and mix. I work fast, I communicate clearly, and I deeply care about the work that I do.
If you're making something that matters, let's finish it together.
My skillset
Every skill I've developed over the years serves one purpose.
Telling a compelling story.
