He has co-written, directed and edited 7 short films in different genres, a music video and multiple corporate videos.
Filmmaking has always been his passion since childhood. His father was a film writer in India, so he grew up talking about films. He believes a film is a strong medium, there are so many stories around us.
He gets inspiration every single day, every single moment from society, the people he meets, and by observing them. He then tells these stories and reflects them back to society through his eyes.
Jayant Sharma (Writer)
Jayant (Jay) is a published poet and writer with 200+ poems, 100+ stories, and multiple feature film and series scripts to his credit.
His devotion is to telling stories of societal significance and bringing about change. Telling stories with authenticity and impact drives him. Jay’s writing ethos comes from his grandfather who was a renowned writer in three languages. He believes in the concept of witty writing coupled with research and experience, leaving enough for the audience to feel, emote and become part of the journey.
Jay was recently recognised as part of 40 under 40 Most Influential Asian Australian 2022 and Top 5 Business leaders of the year 2023. With his credentials, he brings the commercial mentality to creativity.
Aniket Deshkar (Producer)
As a filmmaker, Aniket is committed to creating thought-provoking and inspiring cinema that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact.
His passion for filmmaking began at a young age, as he watched films and became curious about the production process. However, it wasn’t until his move to Australia in 2017 that he could pursue this passion. It was easier for him to transition from a photographer to a cinematographer and get creatively involved as a co-screenwriter in all the projects.
His two decades of general industry experience managing complex projects and multiple teams enabled him to wear the Producer’s hat with ease. His objective is to creatively collaborate and make commercially successful films.
