I am Mrugesh Thakor, A Brooklyn based Filmmaker. I am currently pursuing a BFA in film at Pratt Institute, and I indulge in both narrative and documentary films. For summer 2024 I have been selected as a scholar of the Gotham Film and Media Career Development Program. I am also a film production and distribution intern at First Run FeaturesI have directed several narrative and documentary shorts, commercials, and even some music videos. At Pratt, I am a video producer for Pratt Sidelights+ and a film studio monitor & mentor for Pratt film/video. I am also a video editor at Vinyl Footnote Productions.In the past, I was a film production intern for Midnight Media & Misha Calvert for fall 2023. My films have been recognized at the New York Lift-Off Film Festival, the New York Odyssey Film Festival, and the Indian Independent Film Festival.My art is a result of everything I have seen and everything I’ve felt. It is a criticism of an unequal world, an appreciation of the solace we find in love. It is romanticizing the drive that finding one’s passions gives humans. It is also a contemplation on all boundaries made by man. I want to bring people together by taking a step back and looking into their own selves, and film is my way of doing this.
