Summary

My name is Vaishnavi. I have been working as a cine professional since 2015.
Over the years, in my journey, I find myself crazily driven toward the mesmerizing craft of storytelling, but I am also a strong admirer of the business. I feel lucky to be a part of the industry that has achieved the perfect blend of reality and emotions to create some of the ultimate masterpieces on the canvas of Indian cinema.
Having said that, I think what I wish to achieve in my professional life is to be able to see the process of filmmaking as a whole, and to be able to contribute in as many aspects as one can.
Following this, over the past ten years, I have been lucky to have worked in different departments, such as costumes, production, and direction, and have earned a wholesome experience in visual storytelling. My journey has taught me that there is so much more to explore and experience.
My purpose for this journey is, I think, to keep looking for people with a similar approach to collaborate, create, explore, and to experience and reflect as much as I can.
I am adding my professional experience below, I hope to have it in me, what you are looking for. Hoping to collaborate with you.


Best wishes.
