BINISHA SARKAR
ASPIRING FILMMAKER
ABOUT ME
Aspiring filmmaker with a passion for
storytelling, blending creative vision
with technical expertise.
I am an 18 year old aspiring filmmaker from Kolkata, West Bengal with a foundational start in class 11 (2023), making my debut as a director, cinematographer, and actor with a short film for the Calcutta International School Fest. My passion for filmmaking is deeply rooted in my visual learning style—moving motions and film aesthetics captivates and inspires me, making the process both enjoyable and fulfilling. For me, filmmaking transcends the realm of a traditional job; it’s a vibrant, daily pursuit where I can express my creativity and bring stories to life. I envision a future where my work not only brings me joy but also motivates and inspires others through lasting, impactful content. Filmmaking brings an immersive experience that I intend to share with the community and the world.
