I'm a filmmaker, videographer, and creative director I’m Nikitha Prathap. I’ve written for a living, sold coffee and curry powder to the masses, and sat in boardrooms filled with suits who thought bold ideas came from decks. Ten years in advertising was no mean feat. Then came the scholarship. I left for New York, studied film at the New York Film Academy, and stayed on to teach, assist, and run sets as Chief AD on short films and pilots. Back in India, I spent five years working as a creative director and consultant with production houses and agencies—helping shape stories that hit harder than the brief ever asked for. Now I’m back in India, riding shotgun with Chidambaram, one of the finest directors this wild country’s ever seen. Still chasing frames. Still trying to make something that stares back at you. Because in the end, all we’ve got are stories. The good ones burn. 10 years experience
