Episode 5 - Vishesh Azad, Filmmaker & Academician


Listen Later

Meet Vishesh Azad, screenwriter, cinematographer, and director. He dances. He sings. He's a filmmaker and academician. His name means Special Freedom in Hindi, and the name fits. He's Assistant Professor of Photography at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi and he shows his students how to live life large. He enjoys what he describes as ordinary treks to Triund in the foothills of the Himalayas. That’s a trek from Dharamkot near McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh. Then again you may find him on a road trip where you'll see some of the most spectacular mountainous scenery in Northern India.

Make sure you visit my website: https://www.lovelacecook.com where you'll find a gallery of incredible photos of Vishesh Azad and links to his videos on his YouTube channel where you can see what a fantastic dancer he is. There's also a link to his most recent film Dear Shalini with subtitles in English, and his synopsis of the film is on my blogpost about Vishesh.
