Fifteen years of films, ads and music videos from New Delhi. Now directing an AI production engine too.

The short version
I write, direct, shoot and cut films. Shorts that played ten festivals, more than a hundred brand campaigns, fashion weeks, music videos. Then I taught an AI engine the same grammar, so a brief becomes a finished ad in fifteen minutes.

I'm Sid, a filmmaker from New Delhi.
I trained in directing and cinematography at Prague Film School. My short film Blurred Lines went on to win Best Drama Film and play festivals across Europe and Asia. Since then I've made more than a hundred brand campaigns, headed production for Amazon India Fashion Week and India Couture Week, and shot ultra-luxury homes for India Sotheby's International Realty.
In 2026 I built TheBestCut, an AI-native production engine that carries all of that craft. I also lead film and visual storytelling for the startups at T9L Venture Studio.
