Westwood Film Factory2011-Current

Editor.

As an editor with 15+ years of experience, I have worked on feature films, commercials for international brands, trailers, promos and sizzles, web and TV series, short films, and music videos. I am a cultural mix of India and the US, and well-versed with the filmmaking styles and nuances of both countries. No matter what the format or medium, I am always excited about telling stories and working with my collaborators to fulfill their vision on the screen. Being a screenwriter, I bring a deep understanding of story construction, and creative problem solving to arrive at the best possible way to convey the story and the message of the film, be it 30 secs or a feature film.
