Request QuoteI am a trained director & self-taught cameraman & editor, with more than two decades of experience in documentaries as well as fiction and a Masters degree in film-making from the prestigious Northern Film School in UK. I specialize in bespoke documentary films. My hour-long documentary "India's Frontier Railways - Maitree Express" not only earned a spectacular viewership on BBC but also got excellent reviews for its sensitive portrayal of the people of India and Bangladesh. I worked for channels like BBC, Channel 4, National Geographic, Channel News Asia etc., before taking up teaching film & television in under-grad and post-grad courses in Kolkata. My short film 'Tell My Story' was one of the four films selected to represent the UK at the 39th Student Oscars and won the prestigious Royal Television Society nomination in the UK.

Commissioning Editor Amish Srivastava wrote: I had the great pleasure working with Rajesh Shinde and his wife, Pallavi Biswas. Both are great professionals and very nice human beings. They were on time for every deadline. They went out of the way and worked for our documentary. They have a keen eye and understanding of the subject and do not hesitate to suggest something that can enrich our film. I can not wait to do another project with Rajesh.
