Writing Where Human Emotion Meets Structural Precision
My storytelling begins where subconscious human struggles meet sharp narrative architecture. As an award-winning screenwriter and creative producer at Adanj Studios, I don't simply draft scripts; I craft complete cinematic ecosystems—from loglines and beat sheets to character visualization and final cut pacing.
Having co-created Metronome—a daring 39-minute psychological exploration of schizophrenia and caregiver burnout that represented Indian indie storytelling at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 and won Best Screenplay at IFMA 2025—I champion stories that dare to linger in the psyche.
Beyond the pen, my hands-on mastery of SFX prosthetics, character makeup, and visual styling gives me a unique multi-dimensional lens on set: ensuring dialogue, physical transformation, and production reality fuse seamlessly.
