About
I'm a 21-year-old Tamil creative from South London, currently completing my BA in Art Direction and VFX at the University of the Arts London. I've always been passionate about telling people's stories — putting faces, voices and communities on screen for the world to see.
With over 5 years of hands-on filmmaking experience, I've worked across the full production pipeline — from concept and storyboarding through to on-set direction, editing, colour grading and VFX. Calm under pressure, collaborative by nature, and driven to create work that genuinely connects.

Film Work
01 / 05
Director · Documentary
A documentary that goes beyond the surface of sport to examine what draws people into brutal, physical competition. Directed with an observational eye, the film captures raw, unfiltered moments — the discipline, sacrifice, and humanity behind the spectacle. An honest portrait of athletes and the world they inhabit.
02 / 05
Director · Short Film
Payanam comes from wanting to hold onto small moments that don't seem important until they're gone. The film centres on the relationship between two brothers and the quiet, everyday time they share — observed rather than staged, honest rather than constructed. Rooted in an observational filmmaking practice, it treats film as a visual journal, documenting life as it happens. The film doesn't try to explain its cultural details, but presents them as they are lived. At its heart, it's about memory, absence, and finding peace in what remains.
03 / 05
Director · Short Film
A narrative short film directed and produced independently — a quiet, intimate story told with visual care and intention. Showcasing the full scope of production from pre to post, from the first draft through to final cut.
