Portfolio
This piece covers how camera trap technology has evolved since its inception in the 1800s. We interviewed researchers to find out about the latest innovations in the space.
Science For All is a documentary about the incredible work of citizen scientists. I shot, edited and produced this documentary with Sanshey Biswas. We were semi-finalists at the Australia Independent Film Festival.
Neighbird is a multi-award winning documentary I shot, edited and produced with my partner Sanshey Biswas during the pandemic. We documented the surprising biodiversity of one of the most densely populated capital regions of the world.
Sumatran rhino dung could help researchers solve a decades-long mystery of how many Sumatran rhinos are left in the wild. Estimates suggest there are fewer than 80 of this critically endangered rhino species left, which means that there isn’t much genetic diversity left within the remaining population. For this video, I did the research, wrote the script and recorded the voice over. I collaborated with animator Julia Lima for the visuals.
Not far from India's Capital New Delhi, a community has protected a sacred forest, Mangar Bani, for generations. It hasn't been easy, the area has faced threats from mining and real estate interests. And its protection under India's Forest Conservation Act is in limbo. But the community continues to fight to save their small grove. I shot, produced and edited this video with my partner Sanshey Biswas.
