I am a Digital Spatial Storyteller, Filmmaker and Social Activist currently studying at Royal College of Art. My latest project, Whale Fall, an immersive and interactive VR, 360 and Immersive Sonic project was showcased at IRCAM festival in Paris.
As a filmmaker and social activist, I was involved with the Jai Jagat Global Peace Campaign 2020-30, walking for peace and justice. In 2021, I made a film about the UK based climate activist Pushpanath Krishnamurthy’s epic walk from London to the Cop-26 Climate Conference at Glasgow, where we walked across 650 kilometres. We also did another walk in 2022, in Madurai (India) across a hundred kilometres to raise awareness about local, sustainable economic solutions of production and consumption, under the philosophy of nonviolent economy and were part of the Ahimsa Santhai (a nonviolent local market) that connected thousands of people to hundreds of rural, local producers.
My independent work has been awarded in various film festivals globally, including the films ‘Vandevi: The Forest Goddess’ at LIFFT Lonavla Filmotsav and ‘Inspector Matadeen on the Moon’ at Dadasaheb Phalke Short Film Festival and South Asian Short Film Festival. I have also worked as a part of the Indian Film Industry since 2010, working in Direction, Editing and Post Production. I have worked on films like Mirzya (2016) and Saaho (2019), amongst others.
I was featured in the Indian Daily Newspaper Patrika’s ’40 under 40’ power list as a youth change-maker in 2022.
