Dhruv Vyas

Dhruv Vyas is a self-taught filmmaker from India. With a background in conceptual photography, he has always been drawn to visual storytelling as a way to express abstract emotions. Though he studied engineering in college, Dhruv spent most of his time self-learning through YouTube, teaching himself cinematography, CGI, and music composition.

Before making his debut feature, Deaf to Happiness, Dhruv spent two years as a solo backpacker across India. This journey deepened his understanding of isolation, self-discovery, and human emotions, key themes in his work.

Inspired by artists like David Lynch, Brit Marling, and Sam Lake, Dhruv creates puzzle-like films where metaphors hold deeper meanings and each viewing offers new layers of understanding.
