Varun Ish Nanda began his journey in filmmaking in 2005 after completing his engineering degree and earning a Master’s in Media & Communication from one of India’s leading film and communication schools.

Now based in Los Angeles, Varun continues to collaborate with creatives across the globe, combining his East-meets-West perspective with a strong technical foundation. Whether it’s scripting a powerful narrative, directing high-impact video content, or consulting on visual strategy, he brings clarity, intensity, and soul to every screen he touches.
