Available to hire
I’m Sawanti Das, a filmmaker and animator with seven years of experience in storytelling across India and Europe. I trained at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute in India and was part of Erasmus Mundus collaborations with LUCA School of Arts in Belgium, Aalto University in Finland, and Lusófona University in Lisbon, giving me a solid foundation in global cinema and animation.
As a director and motion designer, I’ve contributed to projects including the animated documentary Over Seas with Praça Films, and led freelance motion design work for children’s books. I thrive in collaborative environments, turning ideas into engaging stories and building strong relationships with teams and collaborators.
