In the midst of wrapping up our summer campaign, we’re excited to finally share our very first campaign for Chaiiwala of London from earlier this year. For Chaiiwala of London’s first campaign of 2025, we journey back to a 1970s Indian living room to explore the legacy and heart behind Chaiiwala. Through a nostalgic commercial and a series of heartfelt reels, we venture to explore the warmth, humour, and heritage that define Chaiiwala, and explore the possibilities behind an everyday cup of tea. Massive thank you to the incredible team who brought this vision to life! Check out the full campaign available on our website now! — produced by: yours truly directed by: @gurgigursimran cinematography by: @nicolas_flood edited & lx support by: @brookewalker3 production design by: @s_t_soutar gaffed & vfx by: @ciaranfederico composed by: @claudiatalksalot casting by: @quintanaslens cast: @hayden_cruze @hoggerandco @jasleen_gill101 @_madebyred_ @tris_moore @madelinesadai

Feeling incredibly lucky and grateful to have DPed and edited Fish Skin, a beautiful short film written and directed by the extraordinary artist Marie Meltvedt Lyseggen. We prepped remotely for 4 months while I was in Türkiye, shot it in 7 days, and spent 3 months in post. Being involved from start to finish to this level taught me so much about filmmaking. Fish Skin won Achievement in Cinematography, sponsored by Panavision Canada, at TMFF ‘25. Production Company: @acaenaproductions Producer: @redcelldivision Writer & Director: @marielyseggen DOP & Editor: Me Production Designer: @raimrealce Composers: Ali Rashid & Ezra Schell Sound: @cynthiacepeda_ Starring: Salma Khalidi & Deniz Baraeev ⠀ Final slide includes full credits and some behind-the-scenes glimpses of our amazing crew in action. So grateful to each and every one of you. 🤍 [i am getting a fish tattoo! okay bye 🐠]
