Hello! I am Satyaprakash!
Director. Producer. Filmmaker. A strong believer in the immense potential cinema has to bring about a change in the world.
Bio
My fascination for the arts started at a young age and it was not long before I realized that, that was the path I wanted to brave. By the time I got my Bachelor’s Degree in Science from the Mumbai University, I was also a part time concept-based-stage-choreographer. Thereafter, I embarked on a journey in the Hindi Film Industry, assisting other talented choreographers and directors. Working with them, gave me an opportunity to closely study and master the power of visual-storytelling. Subsequently I also co-founded a production company Narrative Pictures, and have spent the last many years working on some in house productions and free lancing for various projects. I hope to do lots more challenging work in the coming years, and be the teller of many more unforgettable stories!
