Indian films now exceed the box office revenues of Australian productions. Does this point to a radical shift in the Australian cinematic landscape?

For some Aussies, this is sure to threaten the Western status quo but for the visionaries among us, this might well be the cinematic opportunity of a lifetime.

Operating out of Kochi, Kerala, my mission as a film director is to bridge these two worlds.

For almost my entire directorial career, I have worked from an outsider’s perspective. First, as an Australian making commercials for Saatchi and Saatchi, London, then shooting in different European countries, plus Russia and then my first movie in Hollywood.



 

After more than 12 years exploring, living and listening to life in India, I have learnt to love her chaos and treasure her juggard -resourcefulness. I delight in India’s diversity, ever hunting for those rarefied stories that expose the intimate challenges of our shared human experience.

My foundation as a fine artist underpins my directing methodology. Just as I listen to a canvas to allow a painting to pour itself out, I consciously build space for elite practitioners to collaborate, together discovering visuals and guiding the story to its richest, most impactful cinematic form.

To potential producers and investors: I offer the rare combination of creative maturity and grit. I respect the complex, commercial artistry with which quality productions are assembled, yet push for that visionary edge that delivers world-class film making.
