  We are all made of each other and even in our individualism we are all connected. It is this dynamic interlinking of human experiences that inspires Ipshita to tell stories. Working as an independent filmmaker, Ipshita explores storytelling through the intricate facets of nature, culture and conservation. With a background in television production, she worked extensively as a director / producer on several travel documentaries, from exotic landscapes to remote villages from 2005 till 2017. As the Creative Director with NDTV network Ipshita worked on conceptualising and directing content for branded social campaigns which were important tools for raising public awareness on social issues and brought experts, celebrities, bureaucrats, political leaders and the public onto a shared platform. In 2017, Ipshita founded a filmmaking collective Reel Nomads (a team of freelance artists) that works towards crafting compassionate stories, which trigger inspiration and create dialogue. Her work is purpose led and through her collective she brings in an inherent understanding of grassroots India and its cultural, social and environmental challenges. In the past 7 years, her work has led to documentary projects with many social development organisations and international broadcasting platforms, creating films on environment, climate change, gender, social justice and culture. Her passion is to swim against the tide and go deeper into forging real bonds with the community, capturing intimate emotions and serve the common goal of leaving this world a little better than before.
