Jasbir Farangi

Writer & Photographer
Navi Mumbai

Summary

Equipped with the literary skills developed from working as a writer for about two and a half years, I have also worked as a creative assistant for a production house and a creative intern for another. Furthermore, my ambitious pursuit to become a filmmaker lead me to explore and understand the art behind Cinematography, beginning from the basics and practicing it; later to be enhanced most recently during an 18 days certification course on Digital Cinematography. My creative interest in writing is backed by about 3 years of experience whereas my creative instinct was honed through a decade of observation and contemplation of many Art forms. But most important and eminently, due to my innate passion for Storytelling.
