ABOUT

a quick note…

hi I’m Dishant Pujara, but you can call me Dish!

i’m a writer, director and creative producer with a background spanning engineering, production, and storytelling — united by one goal: to craft creative campaigns that resonate with audiences.

growing up, i enjoyed nonstop movie marathons with friends and family, sticking candy wrappers into the sofa cushions hoping my mom wouldn’t find them. she did.

but for one reason or another, i never really allowed myself to take that dream i had then and make it real. i always had this desire for storytelling. so I wrote. practically all the time, about everything and anything.

i have not gone to film school (turns out no prior experience doesn’t look great on an application), instead I worked in various capacities as a gaffer, boom operator, assistant camera, production assistant, videographer; pretty much any thing involving a camera or being on set. My journey is any thing far from typical, some would say less than stellar, and definitely not the ideal role model, but i like to make films and i care about each film that i make.

some of my influences include satyajit ray, martin scorcese, akira kurosawa, francois truffaut, christopher nolan, ridley scott and rajkumar hirani.

if we work together, i’ll work to craft creative projects that not only look good but mean something, built to connect with your audience and your mission.

best,

Dishant Pujara
