Filmmaker. Storyteller.
Set operator.
I'm Sanskar Gupta — a filmmaker, screenwriter, and visual storyteller based in Mumbai, with experience across feature films, music videos, and high-profile commercial campaigns.
My work lives at the intersection of cinematic vision and execution. Behind the camera and on the page, I shape the narrative — writing award-winning scripts, defining visual tones, and executing complex concepts — while leaning on deep on-set experience to bring stories to life.
I've earned assistant cinematography credits on Amazon Prime roundtables, and written, co-directed and produced the short film Dheemi Aanch, which won Best Screenplay at the Aravali International Film Festival.
Beyond my independent creative work, my understanding of set mechanics has let me protect the director's vision as an AD on three feature films and commercial campaigns for brands like Clinique, Policy Bazaar, Kama Ayurveda, and Motorola. I'm currently seeking directing, writing and cinematography opportunities where creative ambition meets strong production instincts.
"Borrowed Childhood" — a photograph I took, not a frame from a set. The same eye I bring to a script shows up here too: I notice what's happening at the edge of the story, not just the center of it.
