About Vandana

I've directed television commercials, TV shows, music videos, and some commissioned shorts in the past. I've worked as a Production Designer on 3 Indian Feature Films; 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!' - 2008, 'Shanghai' - 2012, and 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshi' - 2015. My first feature film as a Writer/ Director titled 'Noblemen' travelled several festivals and is available on Netflix. I'm presently awaiting the release of my second film as a Writer/ Director and in the process of setting up my third film.
