About

Accomplished executive producer with nearly two decades of expertise in VFX production, credited with producing globally acclaimed shows like Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Money Heist. A proven leader in setting up and scaling VFX units from inception to a formidable team size ,prominently a culture builder, consistently delivering exceptional visual effects and driving successful project outcomes. Sometime in the mid 2000's consumed with the idea of "A Life Purpose: a singular magical force of nature which if one found would make every dream come true". I began my search for this magic wand. Starting with something that thrilled me the most MOVIES ! With a burning passion for movies and a borderline OCD for perfection I managed multiple academy award winning projects like X-Men First Class Kung Fu Panda Life Of Pie just to name a few , being involved in various stages of the production from pre to post, from understanding client brief in the stages of Idea and conceptualization to translating and executing the ideas into a deadline driven production plan to pro actively following up and getting things delivered right on time. After spending a good few years in Hollywood production I ventured into a crazier and more challenging platform of digital and social media, creating content and campaigns for class driven brands like National Geographic to mass driven campaigns for Indian Oil . I am also partnered with Youtube as a digital content creator for Beauty , Lifestyle & Fashion and am currently working on a personal blog that is very close to my heart and entails to Luxury, High end travel and lifestyle. And if you are wondering whether I really found my purpose and what it was ? see I realized that Life purpose is not a singular object that you chase and find , Its something you feel when you engross yourself completely into the creative process of the task at hand. - I am multi passionate - I am a storyteller - I am a multi linguist of content driven business,I speak fluent designer,manager,geek,marketer,editor and difficult client - I have big ideas but its the successful execution of those ideas that stands me out - I am a calm mind and a driven soul I love making new professional acquaintances,reach out if you want to talk ideas,content creation,behavioral psychology,luxury,fragrances or quantum physics. send an email to ishanigam.films@gmail.com
