I am a filmmaker, photographer, and writer working across image, narrative, and lived experience. My practice brings together cinema, poetry, and visual storytelling, with a focus on tone, rhythm, and emotional clarity. I have written and directed the feature film Kottayam, shaping both its visual language and narrative voice. My work as a writer extends into developing scripts, voiceover narration, and story structures that respond closely to image and atmosphere rather than formula. Alongside filmmaking, I have worked in advertising in the Middle East with multinational clients, contributing to visual and narrative development across campaigns. This experience sharpened my ability to write with clarity, purpose, and audience awareness—balancing creative expression with communication. My photography practice includes multiple exhibitions and long-form projects, where writing plays a parallel role through artist statements, conceptual texts, and reflective narrative. These works explore themes of memory, identity, movement, and silence. I approach writing as a process of listening and shaping rather than filling space. Whether it is a script, narration, or personal text, I work to find the right voice for the material—something precise, grounded, and alive to its context. I am particularly interested in projects that require depth, subtlety, and a strong sense of atmosphere. I can work with fully formed ideas or help develop something from an early, unclear stage into a cohesive and meaningful piece.
