ABOUT
I am a filmmaker currently based in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan. Following a voluntary service in India, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Motion Pictures at the University of Applied Sciences and earned a diploma in Documentary Direction from the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg.
Since then, I have contributed to a wide range of projects for clients and broadcasters, including Expo Osaka, BBDO (a leading global advertising agency), Ruggable (a U.S.-based home decor brand known for its washable rugs), ARD (Germany’s national public broadcaster), and my own YouTube channel Our Traditional Japanese House.
My most notable works include the documentaries MASALA CHAI and SPACE CLEANERS.
Since 2024, I have been developing a long-term documentary project titled FLAVOURS OF DARJEELING, which is scheduled for completion in 2026.
