Tell Me - Music Video (Writer, Director & Executive Producer 2022-2023)

'Tell Me' is an indie song composed and produced by 'The Oddsox', an upcoming pop-rock band based out of Chennai. The music video expresses the urgency that plagues the connection between two dissimilar people who've just met at a traveler's hostel in the beach town of Varkala.

Holy Smoke
(Writer, Director, Editor & Producer, 2019)

Logline: Things flip over at Vidya and Rohan's residence when Vidya finds out Rohan is cooking beef when her very pious and strictly-vegetarian mom is on her way to their place.

This is a film-school exercise that had specific constraints that the students had to adhere to - the film was not to have more than two characters and they could only have a maximum of only ten exchanges. The film had to be less than three minutes and be shot in a single location.

Joshua and His Subject
(Writer, Director, Editor & Producer, 2019)

Logline: Joshua, a documentary student is in urgent need of a subject for his short project which is to be shot in the city of Prague. He eventually finds his subject in a drug addict who puts him in a situation of moral dilemma that ends up making him question his ethic as an artist.

This project was inspired by a real-life incident. The film had to be under 5 minutes and had to be shot in one day with a very limited crew. The film's visual style was treated to be a cusp of both documentary and fiction as a synonym to the theme of the film.
