About
Somewhere amidst an engineering degree, films became more important to Siddhanth than computer code, this brought him to London Film School, where he went on to experiment and find what he wanted to say with films.
He’s worked on multiple shorts, doing different roles across departments, trying to understand the intricacies of being creative in every department. He loves working on films that try to challenge the norms of filmmaking, films that say a lot through unique perspectives and unique story telling.

Midnight In A Daydream
Kavi, a 16-year-old high school student leads a normal life, at the cusp of adulthood. Underneath the normality is his yearning to understand why he tries to persevere in life. The variables of his future eat him up from the inside. The unanswered questions of his overactive imagination push his mind to start to experience a dream-like state of false enlightenment. He starts to call upon a literal beam of light, mimicking the images of enlightenment that he has often read in mythology. The light comes to him at his lowest moments, bringing him calm and hope or so he thinks. He realizes the only route to understanding everything is to fail.
