Neeraj is a filmmaker based out of New York. He grew up watching movies and learning hindustani classical music in Southern California. He started his foray into filmmaking through school projects and later spent a considerable time in India where he has worked on small documentaries that took him through the heart of Rajasthan to showcase fading arts.
