    paper Days With Dandekar

    A tender, quietly funny look at retirement, memory, and the immigrant experience, the teaser tracks RK Dandekar’s day-long mission to reclaim his beloved ’89 Volvo, and, with it, a renewed sense of purpose. Diyach’s color work layers sun-washed warmth over suburban tableaux and roadside encounters, underscoring the film’s themes of nostalgia, resilience, and reinvention.

    paper Goodr Skate

    Shot on iPhone, this spot explores the idea that it’s good to be intense - just don’t forget to have fun.

    A skater struggles to land a trick until a stranger shifts the mood with a pair of Goodrs.

    This piece blends effort, humor, and style, everything I admire about the brand.
