wanna make movies, wanna talk about movies, wanna talk about making movies

a few other things as well, but above is the crux of it all

Born and raised in Chicago, I’m currently a student majoring in Communications and Film Studies at Wake Forest University. I’ve spent the past semester studying abroad in Sydney, Australia and have worked various jobs as a production and post-production assistant for MamaMia, SugarMammaTV, and Social Parade Productions. Currently looking to meet other members and mentors of the filmmaking community in Chicago, and for potential work opportunities for this coming summer!

New to the Chicago area; Currently our in the world discovering myself as an actor and a person. Trying to collaborate with great artists to gain as much knowledge and experience I can in an industry I love.

I’m a film enthusiast that grew up on Indian cinema and moved here as an immigrant at a very young age. Knowing that I wanted to become an all American guy, I joined the U.S. Navy when I was 18. After 4 years, I went back home and got a college degree, upon which I joined one of the largest consulting firms in the world, working in NYC. After many life changes, including a family, I want to ensure I bring experiences like mine on the screen, addressing the joy, despair, feeling of hope and achievement within the diaspora of both the USA and India. My immediate goal is to understand and study screenwriting as well as cinematography, although I have very little experience in either.

My experience isn’t limited to film, it has expanded into working in social media content, creative writing, ghostwriting, and consulting.

Since 2006, I have been accumulating an abundance of skill-building experience while freelancing for film, commercials, web content, marketing videos, music videos, and educational projects. Freelancing with adults and children has strengthened my natural problem-solving abilities and has enhanced my creative flair for project finalization. These desirable attributes have landed me several key positions on sets which have included such celebrities as, Gordan Ramsay, Ruben Fleischer, Kanye West, and Bret Michaels.

I have an infinite passion for visual storytelling and it all began from the moment I saw movies like Halloween (1978), The Ten Commandments, Cobra, Metropolis and many more. I am on here to meet others with the same passion or interest in collaborating. I have other scripts I am working on or finalizing and would love to get a team to work with or help create their films.  Maybe we can be the next group that creates amazing films as a team. Remember the “movie brats” with Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg days? Remember American Zoetrope and how they broke the storytelling rules to create a masterpiece like THX? If you do, contact me and let’s connect on storytelling and films.
