From Passion to Purpose: Abhinay Pandit

Abhinay Pandit

Although I always knew I wanted to work in the creative industry, I needed to determine my path and have a deep appreciation for documentaries and the power of storytelling through a single image, so I decided to pursue a career in filmmaking. Even though I knew I wanted to work in a creative field, I needed to find the right path.

Inspired by my father, I began experimenting with photography and capturing inspiring moments. This experience helped me realize my passion for cinema and led me to become a Cinematographer & Editor in Los Angeles. My career began as a videographer in Mumbai, where I captured various subjects such as dance events, music festivals, fashion films, music videos, and commercials. Being in Los Angeles has been an exciting opportunity to connect with filmmakers and artists from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Although it was challenging to leave Mumbai, pursuing my dreams and finding my identity was essential. I am thankful for the support and encouragement of my family and friends in Mumbai.

As an artist, I am eager to continue learning and growing in my craft while exploring new subjects. Although unsure where my career will take me, I am confident in my abilities and willing to try new things to push the boundaries of my creative potential.

My ultimate goal is to find joy in my work, which I have always loved doing. The pride and support of my loved ones in Mumbai mean everything to me, and I am grateful for their unwavering encouragement.

In the coming years, I have many exciting projects lined up as a cinematographer and director, and I am also venturing into writing to fully explore and unleash my potential.
