About

​​                                  

Hari was the only Indian to be accepted into the Oscars Gold Program and graduated from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Mentor-Protegee Initiative under the mentorship of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ted Melfi.

His works as a director include films and commercials for the FIFA Soccer World Cup, United Nations, and a fictional short film, shot at Warner Bros. Studios - Burbank.

 

His extensive below-the-line production experience includes working on Television and Commercial productions of filmmakers David Fincher, Ted Melfi, David Shane, Jim Jenkins, and Trent O'Donnell.

Hari is currently developing his debut feature film, a story that lives in the liminal space between Indian mythology, science fiction, and the metaphysical.

“But those who speak to the feelings, who enter the soul’s deepest meditations, holding the mirror up to nature, revealing the profoundest mysteries of the heart by the magic power of action and utterance to the eye and ear, will be sure of an audience.”
