Director Statement

From an early age, my parents introduced me to western films and later in life I started to watch and learn from a lot of other filmmakers from around the world. Particularly Korean, Spanish and Japanese films. This is why despite being an Indian and living in Mumbai, I have never had a connection to Bollywood, which I see common among my counterparts here. While Bollywood's flamboyance is certainly entertaining, I have little interest in it. I am trying to expand my taste and skills for a global audience. And trying to create a niche of high quality, meaningful and thought provoking films. I feel I have something new and different to offer viewers. Something that they have never experienced, and hopefully find unique and enjoyable.
