Biography: I am a film and video aficionado based in Mumbai, and I work as a freelance editor and screenwriter for projects ranging from narratives, commercials, and documentaries to corporate and music videos.

After graduating in motion pictures and television from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2005, I have made several short films both in the US and India. I have written, scheduled, budgeted, shot, cut, scored, rendered and outputted projects for the web, DVD, TV and film.

I have handled crews, attitudes, stereotypes, animals and transvestites, making sure to deliver my projects come hell or high water. I don’t take bathroom breaks, work 20 hour days and can put together a project from toilet rolls (to storyboard on) and a white sheet (to screen the project).

I’m the only filmmaker I know who’s confined to a wheelchair. If you know any other handicapped filmmaker, I'll fight them for the unofficial title. ;P

I can promise and am always willing to share my knowledge, my skills, and a smile.

Thanks for looking up my bio.
