During the months of June and July 2022, I had the privilege of contributing to a government-initiated documentary as a Junior Assistant Director, playing a vital role both on set and in post-production. Working alongside renowned actor Anupam Kher and skilled cinematographers, I assisted in handling B-roll footage and worked on going to and managing the archival material and tapes from Doordarshan and the Film Division of India. My responsibilities extended to extensive logging, note-taking, and meticulous organization of information. The project provided me with a unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of a major production studio, where I not only observed but also had hands-on experience with the camera.
The documentary itself traces 75 years of India's independence and the journey of its prime ministers, set against the backdrop of the newly inaugurated Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya museum in New Delhi.

In the midst of the global pandemic's challenges and lockdowns, the short film "Broken" emerged as a testament to resilience and creativity. Produced and created remotely, this unorthodox project took shape during a time of social distancing, where a small team, including myself, came together to navigate the intricacies of filmmaking from our own homes. The unique nature of this endeavor meant that all interactions between the cast and crew occurred solely through online channels throughout the entire production process. Despite these constraints, "Broken" tackles the sensitive themes of mental health and other 'taboo' topics prevalent in our society.
The film has garnered recognition on the international stage, with wins and nominations at prestigious film festivals, including the coveted Rome Prisma and Berlin film festivals, marking its impactful journey from conception to acclaim. It was also uploaded onto Amazon’s Prime platform.

Attached above is the entire hour long documentary that I helped shoot through this process. I worked with Studio Wide Angle Films in collaboration with Anupam Kher Studios to produce the Independence day TV special.
As the Art Director, I played a crucial role in ensuring that each scene artistically and visually conveyed its intended emotions and meaning.
I was also tasked with and made the poster and the promotional material for the film, as seen on the right, which included branding for the film for Amazon Prime as well.
