Hello!

I’m Nihal, an inquisitive, keenly-observant commoner, with lots of inspirations to share with the world! I am currently a freelance filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. I have completed my Masters in Film and Media Production from New York Film Academy, Burbank, California. Filmmaking has always been something that I gravitated towards, the reason being, my love towards telling stories. Here, in Hollywood, I have had the opportunity to be produce and direct a handful of projects. My interest in the pre-production and the post production process of filmmaking has also helped me be a part of a dozen other short films, all that have helped me build a repertoire, one that I am extremely proud of.

The essence of storytelling is something that has been with me, since I was an inquisitive 5 year old listening to the same stories from my mother, over and over again. In a country like India, with a population of over 1.25 billion people, there is a story to tell at every corner. My dream is to be able to capture, with the help of a lens, these stories that deserve to be told.

Content has always fascinated me, be it audio, visual or literary in nature. The voracious need for me to consume and produce content of any form is what I believe is my strength. This combined with my will to always win is what I believe will help me achieve my dreams. My favorite word in the English Dictionary is Legacy and I strongly intend to create my own, before leaving the surface of the earth. I am also a Dreamer and as Paulo Coelho says, “when you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it”.
