ANANDITA SUNDAR
Chennai
Summary
During a two-year tenure, I closely collaborated with esteemed Indian director Mr. Mani Ratnam, serving as both a production intern and assistant director. Notably, I contributed to the acclaimed projects Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Ponniyin Selvan 2 within the production department, as well as the forthcoming Thug Life as an assistant director. Prior to this, I worked with noted filmmaker, Mr. Sundar C, as a production assistant on his project, Coffee with Kadhal, under the banner Avni Cinemax. My aspiration to deepen my understanding of production techniques motivates my pursuit of further education, as to lay the groundwork for my future endeavour of establishing a production house.
