About Me

I don't edit
videos. I
craft films.

I'm SumitHiHai — a filmmaker based in India. I work at the intersection of cinematic storytelling, raw travel documentary, and obsessive colour craft. My frame is never accidental.

Every project I take on gets the same treatment — intentional pacing, handcrafted grades, and a story arc that earns its ending. I don't produce content. I make films that last.

What I Do

Films built
to outlive
the moment.

01

Cinematic Travel Films

Documentary-style travel films with narrative arcs, immersive soundscapes, and grades that make every location feel like a scene from a feature. Not vlogs — films.

02

Documentary Storytelling

Long-form documentary editing with structural integrity. I find the story hiding inside your raw footage — the rhythm, the tension, the moment that makes the audience lean in.

03

Colour Grading & LUT Design

Professional colour grading from Rec.709 or flat log formats. Film emulation, teal-orange architecture, bleach bypass — or a signature look built for your brand. Charged accordingly.

04

Short Film & Creative Editing

Narrative shorts, experimental cuts, branded mini-docs. If you have vision and raw footage, I build the bridge between the two. Collaborative, precise, uncompromising.

Kind Words

What clients
actually say.

★★★★★

"He turned three weeks of chaotic travel footage into a film I've watched twenty times. The colour work alone is worth every rupee. My audience noticed immediately."

Alex Rivera

Travel Creator — 200K subs

★★★★★

"Zero back-and-forth. I sent the brief, the raw clips, and the vision. What came back was better than what I imagined. Rare to find someone who actually understands story."

Priya Menon

Documentary Filmmaker

★★★★★

"The grade on our short film got us selected for two festivals. I didn't think colour could change the emotional register of a scene that much. Now I know it can."
