Description
I’m a cinematographer and a farmer shuttling between Mumbai and Rishikesh. My Rishikesh home is a 5-acre, self-sustainable farm surrounded by Rajaji National Park located 10 minutes from Dehradun Airport. We have a green house, huge lawns, fruit orchards and our own irrigation system. 3 very spacious bedrooms with attached bathrooms and dressers for a comfortable stay. Farm fresh food can be made available on prior request.
Also, next to my house, I’m developing a luxurious farmstead currently under construction.
We have various teams working on site at the moment.
Horticulturists helping out with landscaping.
Interior designer.
Also we have a permanent Gardner and farmers staying at the farm.
I’ll mostly be at the farm myself unless travelling for a shoot. There’s also a caretaker who lives at the farm.
Things that we need help with include organic farming, bee-keeping, construction of a mud bath, tree plantation, composting etc. Also, if there’s a shoot happening, then might require help with lighting, art direction and camera assistance.
