Reel oneDirector’s reel

Three years of digital films, commercials and influencer reels for lifestyle, fashion, retail and tech brands. Every frame below opens the film.

Producer first

Ten years and more in advertising film production: budgets, crews, talent, locations and delivery, in India and abroad. I still direct like a producer. Every frame has to be worth what it costs.

Founder of Creative AF, a production house, and Entertainment Quotient, an events and brand IP agency.

Every one of these sets ran on a call sheet. Now part of the call sheet runs itself.

Then the tools changed.

Brief

It starts with a line.

Yours, mine, or one we write together. One sentence that says what the film has to do.

Boards

AI draws it first.

Screenplay beats, storyboards, look-tests and animatics built with generative tools, so everyone agrees on the film before a single call sheet goes out.

Shoot

Then we shoot it for real.

Real crew, real talent, real light. Generative shots only where they earn their place in the edit.

Agents

One idea. Every screen you need.

Agents I build handle the cutdowns, reframes, subtitles and versions for film, OTT, web and social, so the craft goes into the film and not the admin.
