While doing so, I also worked on my own films. u ayo ayo (The experience), BLOCKADE, In my town,Travel is plus plus, Keri china ( I have nothing) were some of my films that were screened nationally. My passion for being an aspiring documentary filmmaker was not only limited to films. I also worked commercially for some of the developmental and project progress films to the local organizations and NGOs.They were mostly hydropower and drinking water projects like JICA Nepal (Pokhara water treatment and Story Chanel). Currently, I am involved in running a production house based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Besides that I provide workshops and equipment rentals to some of the local filmmakers. Also providing logistical support to filmmakers coming in Nepal to produce a film. The experience of working for almost two decades in this industry has inspired me to grow and pursue better storytelling, here in Nepal.

Journalism was my functional paper in Bachelor degree. I finished a Masters in Rural Development in 2008. Since 2006, I have been traveling all over Nepal while on different assignment; from urban to remote locations, I’ve worked as a fixer, translator and local producer It’s a job that’s taken me to the extremes of Nepali society, one day interviewing the richest man in Kathmandu, the next staying with the country’s most deprived people in a rural area. I work for foreign media on a wide range of subjects and I have a strong understanding of my client’s goals. Thanks to that I established a vast network of connections all over Nepal, with, for example, local journalists, police and local leaders. Being connected is paramount as most people are not listed in the Nepali Yellow Pages. I am not a tour guide, nor am I a travel agent. My interest is to assist professionals visiting Nepal so you can get your job done without too much frustration or wasting time solving problems. Often I make documentary and promotional movies as local producer with my Nepali film crew.
