Mahesh Madhu Naidu
Director / Writer / Producer
Co-founder, Running Cliché
I'm a filmmaker drawn to the messy, funny, and often contradictory parts of being human. I direct and produce narrative and documentary work through my production company, Running Cliché, where we make bold, story-led content that swings between the heartfelt and the offbeat.
My short film Lazy Bones won a Cannes Film Award, Quackers (Dramedy) is on BBC iPlayer, and No Evom previously streamed on Amazon Prime. Alongside scripted work, I’ve directed campaigns for Transport for Wales and the University of South Wales, and recently created speculative ads like Bollywood Drama and Tongue Twister — cinematic, high-energy spots that play with tone and form.
I’ve worked with universities, brands, and public bodies to tell stories that connect, whether through humour, emotional truth, or pure visual punch. Currently developing my debut feature through Ffilm Cymru’s Space Lab.
Always up for a good idea and a scrappy location shoot.
