I am an independent filmmaker based out of Mumbai. In my 7 years working as a professional, I have worked on numerous projects, creating multiple video featurettes and edits for clients ranging from Netflix India, Disney Marvel to The Whole Truth, amongst others. My contribution for these projects has been diverse, ranging from a director, editor, videographer, and a producer. As a result, this has given me an active knowledge of the workings of every stage of video production. In my personal work, I aim to apply and experiment with this knowledge at every possible intervention, and explore a spectrum of mediums, genres and processes; ranging from documentary to fiction to music videos. This includes experimental work on analog mediums of 8mm and 16mm film, some of which has been showcased internationally as part of an ongoing film programme at Harkat Studios.

Being in a creative field has loads of plus points and equally minus points. But our life depends on what we focus on. An urge of expressing one's view is always on higher side when compared to passion. So for me filmmaking is more than Passion , it an urge to share my thoughts with the people. Because i feel films is a powerful medium to interact with a mass audience and has the potential to connect with one's heart individually. World is full of stories, i would like to gather them on my way and would like to learn new and different things from every story i come across. Being Curious by nature, i love to search for answers solve mysteries in my mind. Work Exp : Shooting and Editing videos since 3 years now.

I'am a commercial and a documentary film maker focused on Human stories. My work has taken me across different corners of the country in search of stories that are not mainstream or mostly under reported. The amount of work I've done so far has given me a distinct perspective on sharing narratives with honesty, accuracy and empathy with an awareness of the potential impact on people’s lives. Along with character driven documentaries that inspire, educate and advocate for a social change, I also love to tell and dream of making stories that are paradoxically unassuming yet grand, romantic rendezvous that are purely about passion, exploration of self and the complexities of the human experience.

Hello, This is Apoorva Shaligram. This is Apoorva Shaligram. Currently based in Mumbai, but I am open to shoot Pan India. It has been almost seven years that I am working as a DP. My work style is simple yet stylised. I am minimalist. I am experimental and try to find a solution keeping the creativity intact. I was undercover in Jharkhand for an international documentary which is now published all over. It was quite a different experience for me to work within a structural format for non-fiction. Cinema Bandi is the feature film which I shot for Netflix. This entire film was shot without any professional lights or grip. I shot this on a RED GEMINI 5k RAW camera. It was a calculated decision to keep it look organic. Looking forward to collaborative work.

I will just quickly introduce myself, I am a Cinematographer based in Mumbai/Goa, with my interests primarily in the fields of art, culture, personal history and education. I've spent the last couple of years utilizing my skills as a visual storyteller and my thirst for stories to make short form non-fiction films. I love listening to stories just as much (if not more) as telling them and I feel like we can never have enough honest conversations in our lives. I've spent the last 11 years working on independent projects while also picking up multiple commissioned short-form non-fiction and fiction films as a producer, director and cinematographer.
