Video promo we shot for The Kingpins Show, Bangalore edition 2011.

Director of Photography: Mihir Desai
Assistant camera: Sanat Singh 

Official video message: We’re global now at Kingpins, with shows in New York and L.A. as well as Shanghai, Hong Kong and India. And we’ve got shows in Bangladesh and more in the works. Each season, our shows absorb and reflect the culture and vibe of the cities they are in. “From Kingpins, With Love” is a video series that showcases the unique appeal of the show in its various host cities. Check them out if you missed a show or if you were there, so you can relive the good times. Or check them out because they are cool to look at. We don’t mind.

Last year I had the opportunity to be the director of photography on Sumit Purohit’s new feature “12073.” Here’s the first mysterious teaser and blog post by director Sumit Purohit.

12073 : A film By Sumit Purohit

“घर को ढूंढें पागल सा, मूर्ख दीवाना है
जहाँ रुके वहीँ घर हो जावे, ठौर-ठिकाना है
नाथ तुंग के कभी प्रयाग-ऐ-रूद्र होइयां
अन्दर झाँका, बुद्ध होइयां”

Two friends, one revisiting the hills he belongs to and other experiencing a whole new world.
