About

Hi! I'm Melfin — an award-winning director and production designer with over 50 international awards under my belt. I specialise in telling intimate, emotionally-driven stories that blend bold visuals with raw human experiences.

Born in Goa and raised in London, I bring a unique perspective to every project I take on.

I started out as a production designer, creating visually rich worlds on tight budgets, and eventually followed my true passion for directing. Every film I make is a reflection of my heritage, my creativity, and my obsession with meaningful storytelling.

When I’m not on set, I’m probably crafting, building sets from scratch, learning a new skill , or working on passion projects through my production company — which I founded to give my ideas a home even when the budget is low.

My goal is simple: to tell stories that matter, and to create art that leaves a mark.
