Hello,

I am Shalini Harshwal, a Mumbai-based Advertising Film Director, Screenwriter, and Independent Documentary filmmaker.

I started my journey as an assistant director in advertising in 2005. Starting with Red Chillies, followed by Red Ice and then Orchid land films. This experience led me to direct promos for television at leading broadcasters. 

I went independent after a long exciting stint with UTV, Star India & Channel V, and moved on to directing Ad films. I've worked with prominent brands like Godrej, Tata Sky and Cadbury. Some of my work got nominated for Abbys and also featured as best commercial of the week in AD week India.

I like to observe the unobserved and experiment with different formats and went on to produce and direct a documentary called 'Out of a Jam.' The film did a successful festival run worldwide and won the top honours at the prestigious Los Angeles Femme International Film Festival 2015. It's amongst the best-rated documentaries on Mubi.

I aim to tell stories that entertain and resonate with the audience. Stories that make people think, feel and introspect.
