Alok Mishra

‘I’m not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.’ – Guy Ritchie

Filmmaking is no less than a lighthouse for Alok. Fascinated by moving images from an early age watching movies on VHS tapes, he is now living a dream making them.

With an extended hands-on experience and wide-ranging knowledge of film and video projects, today he is ambidextrous with creative and production profiles from inception to completion. Skilled in directing, organising and coordinating shoots, he operates production equipment, conducts script writing, analysis and changes, along with being very competent at film and video editing.

His priorities comprise of designating and organising workloads to meet strict deadlines, training and supporting team members and, most importantly, establishing and maintaining strong work relationships with internal and external groups.
