CHARIT DESAI
I see the world through a lens.
As a digital native, I have an eye for moments, a knack for capturing them and an obsession of telling stories through them.
I travel to live.
The hills of Kashmir. The coasts of Australia. The favelas of Brazil. The alleyways of Greece. Mother nature is my favourite Production Designer.
Always Character First.
Plot is the body. Structure is the mind. But characters are the beating heart of my stories.
I often hear, before I see.
If characters are the heart, then music is the soul of filmmaking for me. Having been a musician myself, my music completes my stories.
It's not just about the story, it's about how you tell it.
Coppola’s family dramas about gangsters, Fincher’s expertly crafted noir, Mani Ratnam’s conflict-zone love stories, for me, craft is just as important as the story.
