At Chhota Budget Films
Hitesh works across producing, story development, project incubation and the design of practical workflows for independent creators. His focus is on helping filmmakers move from an idea towards a clearer script, team, production plan and presentation.
He has worked on socially engaged projects including Jaldhara, a documentary on water conservation, Icecream, an intimate short fiction project, and filmmaking-learning initiatives that connect advocacy, media and public engagement.
Teaching and filmmaker development
His training background includes professional photography and cinematography education and audio-visual advocacy learning. Within the Writers’ Room, that experience is applied to a simple principle: filmmakers learn best when story, craft and production are developed together.
