Arnav Vaidyanathan

Arnav Vaidyanathan is an Indian filmmaker and CG generalist whose work is rooted in the lived experiences of communities. Raised in Gurgaon, India, he draws inspiration from the textures of his culture, memories, and the quiet rhythms of the people around him. Childhood visits to the theatre with his family sparked a lifelong fascination for film, animation, and the worlds they create. After recently graduating from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA (Hons) in Computer Animation, a minor in Business of Art and Design and a certification in Creative Entrepreneurship, Arnav's work centers around advocacy, socio-cultural identity, and personal narrative, with a deep commitment to using his platform to uplift voices that often go unheard. Whether through evocative characters or immersive environments, his work aims to offer the same sense of comfort he once found in theaters with his family.
