ASHUTOSH DABRAL

As an audio-visual communicator, pushing my imagination to create a compelling story is the kind of challenge, I like to take up. Creating stories on writing table, filming and editing them from a perspective that others has failed to notice, is what I try to achieve through every project. From my experience of making documentaries and short films, I discovered that with every stage of production a new dimension is added to the story and that’s why I aim to make my contribution in every stage. The forethought and patience that I posses, always helps me in bringing out the desired outcome. OBJECTIVE
