A self-taught writer, director, and filmmaker who falls in love with the work of any artist creating concepts that are unconventional and fundamentally different.
Dhruv Vyas is a self-taught filmmaker from India, driven by a passion for unconventional storytelling and deep, puzzling worlds. Originally studying engineering, he found himself drawn to creative expression through conceptual photography before transitioning to filmmaking. Without formal training or industry connections, he independently learned every aspect of filmmaking—from writing and directing to cinematography, CGI, and composing music.
His debut feature, Deaf to Happiness, is a surreal meditation on memory, loneliness, and the fragile pursuit of meaning. Created entirely by one person, the film embodies his beliefs. He is inspired by visionary artists such as David Lynch, Brit Marling, Sam Lake, Satoshi Kon, and Haruki Murakami—storytellers who craft layered, philosophical narratives that linger long after the credits roll.
Currently, Dhruv is expanding on the ideas explored in Deaf to Happiness, developing his next project while continuing to experiment with cinematic form. His goal is to carve out a unique space in filmmaking and find a team of people who want to create surreal worlds, bringing stories to life that challenge perception, blur boundaries, and leave the audience questioning their existence and what they understand about themselves.
