Aakarsh Bhatnagar was born and raised in Hong Kong, as an Indian ethnic.

He moved to the United States in 2015 to attend school, and then graduated with a degree in Media Studies in 2019. Upon the arrival of covid, job markets were down and no one was hiring, so Aakarsh took to freelancing and discovered his love for filmmaking. Whether it be commercial work, or passion projects, Aakarsh has developed an eye for story-telling, and is hungry to keep creating and improving in his craft.
