About Me
Hi, I'm Kesh. I have a passion for writing, script development and sound design in the film industry. I also have been creating digital art for 5+ years. With over 5 years of digital art experience, I am passionate about creative expression and collaboration. Currently studying at AFTRS, I love working with others to create imaginative projects. I enjoy both the organisational and creative aspects of filmmaking, and I have a special connection to all levels of assistant directing. My experience also extends to backstage theatre and events, where I’ve specialised in lighting. I’m highly organised and detail-oriented, ensuring that every project runs smoothly from start to finish. Fun, upbeat, and always excited to work with others, I’m ready to contribute my creativity and organisational skills to the next project I work on.
