Director Biography - Tarun Nukala

I am Tarun Nukala, a filmmaker driven by the power of storytelling. From my early days in college, I have been captivated by the idea of bringing emotions to life through film. For me, it is about more than just creating scenes; it is about crafting moments that connect and leave an impact. Every frame is an opportunity to tell a story that resonates deeply with the audience.

Alongside directing, I have expanded my craft as a Producer, Associate Director, Cinematographer, and Gaffer. These experiences have sharpened my eye for detail and deepened my understanding of every layer of filmmaking.

For me, filmmaking is a journey. Every project I take on is approached with creativity, passion, and a relentless commitment to capturing the soul of a story. It is about creating something real, something honest, and something that moves people.

Director Statement

One Mile is a story about how nature and destiny weave themselves into our lives in ways we often fail to notice. This film is deeply personal to me. Every moment and every frame was planned with care and intention, with nature itself becoming a silent character in their journey. From the earliest sketches to the final edits, I stayed committed to ensuring that no detail was left to chance, because in a story about destiny, every detail matters.

Through Abhiram and Ayonija’s quiet journey, I wanted to show that sometimes it is not grand gestures, but the small alignments of the universe that change our lives forever. I hope One Mile reminds audiences that even in our loneliest or most uncertain moments, nature and fate are gently leading us exactly where we are meant to be.
