Hi! I’m Vidur.

I’m a director and creative producer based between India and New York. Whether I'm working on narrative fiction or commercial brand films, my focus is always on capturing quiet human moments with a distinct visual style.

My background spans screenwriting, lighting, cinematography, and editing. As a fan of analog processes (and silver halide crystals), I frequently blend 16mm film with digital imaging to give projects a unique visual texture, occasionally exploring ideas around place, identity, and personal history.

Across 20+ short films and brand projects, including my directorial shorts ARTEFACTS and The Building Blocks of a Bridge, I lead productions from concept through set execution and post. Fluency in camera, story, and edit workflows gives me a practical framework for creative producing: running smooth sets without ever losing sight of why we're all here :)
