Anurag Vallamsetty is a filmmaker with a background in business from San Jose State University, USA. While pursuing his degree, he immersed himself in theatre and worked as an assistant director on student film projects, driven by an unwavering passion for storytelling.
His journey into filmmaking began with a script centered on music, originally intended for a film festival. Though that project didn’t come to fruition, its essence found new life in his directorial debut—an independent musical drama. Leaving behind a career path in business, he returned to India to fully dedicate himself to filmmaking, blending his artistic vision with the rich storytelling traditions of Indian and global cinema.
Filmmaking, for me, is about capturing raw emotions and unspoken connections. My debut indie musical drama stems from my deep love for music and cinema, inspired by a script I once wrote for a film festival. Music, as a narrative tool, expresses what words cannot, shaping the journey of a musician and a singer through both harmony and hardship. Leaving behind a business career in the US to pursue filmmaking in India was a leap of faith, much like the characters in my film. Through this story, I hope to create an experience that resonates long after the final note fades.
