About Me

My name is Vishaal Desai and I’m a filmmaker. I Write, Direct and Edit Short Films and I’m in the process of developing an idea for my first Feature Film. I’m originally from Bombay, India.

I’ve always been captivated by film from a young age. The first couple of films I remember watching in the cinema were ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ (Zemeckis, 1988) and ‘Batman’ (Burton, 1989). Both made an impact on me for different reasons. Of course over the years, I expanded my horizons, but it was only in the last decade that I decided to choose films as a career path. Initially I wanted to work in Visual Effects and hence I came to England about 4 years ago to do a BA in animation. However, once I started making short films, the prospect of being a Director and a Writer was very appealing and since graduating, I have been working as a freelance writer and make short films as often as I can.

I lived in London for two years from 2007 – 2009 and completed an MA degree in Screenwriting from the London Film School.

I have currently moved base back to Bombay where I’m in the process of writing a feature screenplay that I intend to shoot here.

I have also recently started up a production company called – ‘A Thousand Faces Productions’ and I’m looking to put together a talented team of filmmakers to make short films as well as features.
