Currently living and working from Bristol UK, I have deep roots in Chennai's magical cinema culture from a very young age. With a career that began as a background artist for cell animation to a filmmaker now, I learnt to have imparted a wealth of knowledge in the history of cinema and filmography. I directed my first feature called 'Gangs of Tooting Broadway'. It is a British Asian crime drama about youngsters making the right choice in their lives and what happens if they make a wrong choice, very similar to the French classic La Hain. It was well received in the festival circuit, it had its world premiere at the London Indian Film festival, Mumbai International film festival and the Hague Indian film festival are a few. The film got distributed on DVD in UK and Europe. My second film ' A Room to die for' a horror thriller, about a broke young couple who move into an old house with an elderly couple and things go from bad to worse for both which is distributed by Sony Home Entertainment, world wide. As a filmmaker and film lover, I intend to use my energies in creating beautifully crafted films that touch and change people's hearts, while they carry home a part of it to be remembered forever.
