SAGAR MALI

Qualification Bachelor of Architecture

As an architect, I have designed and executed several projects which include bungalows, hotels, resorts, hospitals, residential and commercial apartments etc.

As an architect with an artistic vision, I can play with space. Cinema is a three-dimensional canvas where we create a series of spaces unfolding into one another. That is what makes it fascinating and equally challenging.

My love for cinema and ability of design led me to the world of art direction where I got an opportunity to work with renowned Production designer Sabu Cyril and it has been a great learning experience. So far I have worked on eight feature films with Production designer Sabu Cyril and Sunilbabu, One television show (big boss season 6) and fifteen add films.

We translate scripts and ideas into visual metaphors, creating a color palette, establishing details, selecting locations, designing and decorating sets in collaboration with the director and director of photography.

Art direction is a continuous process of experimenting and evolving. With every project challenges are different. Completing a project with a quality work in constraints of budget and time is a skill which I have achieved with experience. I have worked on large scale project like Bahuballi as well as a tight budget Marathi film and had a great time while working on both the films.

I have always believed that with an honest effort and proper management, impossible can be achieved. Now here I am looking for the opportunities to work on interesting films.
