Since he can remember, Pinak has always had a special affinity with the entertainment business. He began his journey in independent music with the funk rock band Simple Harmonic Motion and quickly transitioned into event production, working as a part of backstage crews for some of India’s biggest events.
After specialising in Audio Visual Communications from SIMC-UG, Pune, Pinak worked with several production houses in Delhi (Space Monkey Project, Uncommonsense Films, Deuce Production) and Mumbai (Studio Five) focusing primarily on advertisements across media, corporate films, after-films and generating other audio-visual content. To satisfy his urge to support the independent arts, he has created content for many of India’s top-tier independent music acts. He continues to fulfil his passion for music with the collective- Dastaan Live.
While he displayed a proclivity with the camera early on in his career, Pinak went on to wear many hats in film production as a director,videographer, editor and sound technician. Passionate about travel, his recent visits to North America, South America and Europe have lent his visual style a truly global appeal.
With his experience across the spectrum in ad-film and independent video production, he found his true calling in cinematography and this led him to enroll at the Prague Film School in 2019.
During his brief time at the school, he worked on over twenty short films on campus and earned the respect and admiration of the faculty and his peers alike.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Pinak is looking to collaborate with independent filmmakers, artists and production houses to create experimental, experiential content and share his talents with the world.
