Biography

I am an Independent Animation Filmmaker and Animation Educator graduated from IDC School of design, IIT Bombay with Masters in Animation Design. I approach animation on basis of world cinema and I see animation as a medium of ultimate pinnacle in cinematic storytelling that offers complete freedom to the creator. I have been developing my craft from a very young age through unconventional self perceived approaches and I wanted the same to transcend into my animation films. Hailing from a small village called Elavur in India without any artistic background, I have went on to be listed in HT City 30 under 30 by Hindustan Times Magazine for the year 2021. My vision is to make animation cinema education as affordable as possible and take it to even the last kid in the most remote areas of the world to express their limitless creativity through this extremely boundless and flexible medium of animation storytelling. My graduation film ' The Fox of the Palmgrove' have won 40 plus awards and accolades including the Silver Conch for Best International Animation in Mumbai International Film Festival 2020 and a Student distinction in Athens Animfest 2020. I have directed Animation for a research film named 'For Mahesh' for University of Oxford which has been nominated for Best Film of the year in Research in Film Awards 2021, the only film awards dedicated to research films.
