The journey of filmmaking captivates me far more than the final product itself. The creative process—the countless hours of planning, improvising, and refining—is what truly excites me.

To craft a compelling film and emerge as a successful director, one must harness the collective brilliance of a diverse team. It’s about uniting talents across cinematography, music, editing, acting, and beyond, each bringing their own unique perspective and expertise. A director’s role isn’t just about vision; it’s about elevating every contributor to bring out their absolute best.

And the learning? It’s endless. Every project is a new classroom, every challenge a lesson, and every collaboration an opportunity to grow—not just as a filmmaker, but as a storyteller and a leader.

Alaadhi

Dear oceans, you took 71% of the world and 100% of my heart! Not sure for what reason? A pair of blue and brown eyes got locked. Not sure what changed? But each moment after that is just transcendental (Alaadhi).

Alaadhi is a collection of small moments shot by Anirudh K Muralidhar at the beaches of Los Angeles and San Diego in California, USA. The video is made in dedication towards his love for the oceans as a whole, for her roaring melody, for her salty breath, for her everlasting grandeur, and whatnot. We are positive that this video will reminisce your memories of the ocean along with a gentle smile.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Neither money nor skill was an investment in the making of this video. All we had was love towards the ocean and the grace of our parents. - Anirudh K Muralidhar
