 Ashvin Kumar began working as an actor and director in theatre. After taking a degree in Media and Communications (University of London) he began working as an editor. Ashvin set up a digital post-production business in New Delhi before he relocated to London where he established Alipur Films while briefly attending the London Film School. Ashvin wrote several screenplays turning the first of them into the featurette Road To Ladakh. Ashvin is a writer and director. He also edits and produces his own films. He is the only Indian to be nominated for an academy award in the live action short film category for Little Terrorist in 2005 and has been the recipient of fifteen international awards and honors in over a hundred film festivals including a nomination to the European Film Academy, which was also the first for an Indian. He is currently in post production with his debut feature The Forest and developing two other projects set in India. Living and traveling in the west, being exposed to international cinema and having taken his own shorts and feature to international markets as a producer and writer gives him an unusual perspective that informs his writing of Indian screen-plays for an international audience. Ashvin currently lives and works between London and New Delhi. He has also written extensively on cinema and other issues some of his writing can be read on his blog. Ashvin currently lives and works between London, New Delhi and Los Angeles. |
