Mayank Mekala was born in 2001 in the Bay Area, the heart of California, United States. He began making stop-motion animation films as a kid before being given an old DSLR. Throughout high school, he started to write and direct live-action shorts. After a brief hiatus, Mayank returned to the world of filmmaking once again in college, this time adopting his own style and trademarks, taking on the guerilla filmmaker process and started making low-budget films with the resources surrounding him, exercising his creativity and experimental nature.
