This is the work I make when nobody's hired me to make it.
Documentary filmmaker & creative director.
Available for collaboration, commission, and the right conversation.
Queens born and raised artist. Self-funded documentary series, community exhibitions, and photo essays that were built without briefs, without budgets, without compromise. They exist in this world I've created because the story needed to be told.
Selected works —
Replace with a still from the series —
a face mid-story works best here
Still — Kerala / childhood
Still — intimate moment
Ente Katha
A seven-part series following Moneymol and Shaji through childhood, arranged marriage, immigration, and parenthood — from Kerala to New York. Filmed, directed, and produced entirely independently. No funding. No crew. The series found its audience within the South Asian diaspora and proved the only thing that matters: the right story, told without compromise, lands.
Replace with exhibition floor photo —
people in the space, artwork on walls
Child + their artwork on the wall
Video interview still
The Wonder Years
A public exhibition honoring childhood imagination before structure shapes it. Video interviews, photography, and original artwork by children — brought together in a live showcase at Artifact Projects, NYC. The room proved something: the right concept pulls people in without a marketing budget.
Replace with your strongest image —
the one that feels almost too real
Tension / romantic
Quiet / familial
Echoes of Us
An intimate, ongoing exploration of love in all its contradictions — romantic, platonic, familial. Not the polished version. The real one: tenderness and tension in the same frame, joy and grief occupying the same moment. Each image tries to hold what language can't. This series has no endpoint. It ends when love stops being complicated.
In development
{Withheld}
Something is coming. A non-fiction series centered on a single, structured prompt that unlocks a depth of human honesty rarely captured on camera. It spans generations and cultures, and every episode is unrepeatable by design. The concept is intact, the vision is clear, and the right collaborator will feel it the moment they hear it. If you're a producer, investor, or creative partner looking for a project worth attaching your name to, let's talk.
