“So human, tender and carefully made.”

Writer, Director & Editor
I work across fiction and non-fiction. Over the last four years, I've worked with global media houses, brands, and organisations including BBC, National Geographic, Bloomberg, Evident Media, Hyundai, Bupa, and the United Nations Environment Programme.
My Academy Award–qualifying short documentary, Bali (2025), produced by PSBT, won the Best Short Film Award at the Tasveer Film Festival, the Jury Prize at the Toulouse Indian Film Festival, the 2026 TOTO Award for Short Film, and received Special Mentions at IDSFFK, DokuBaku, and the Flahertiana Documentary Film Festival in Russia.
I'm currently writing my debut feature film.
