About

My name is Mehak Arora

I’m a documentary filmmaker based out of Delhi and Bombay, drawn to stories that reflect truth, identity, and impact. From branded content to raw documentaries, I’ve worked across formats with teams behind Amazon Prime Video, JioCinema, and Amazon miniTV.

Get to know Me

I began my journey as a street photographer, but filmmaking gave me the language to delve deeper, ask questions, challenge perceptions, and create an impact in society.

I completed my master's from the Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication with a specialisation in Audio Visual. During my course I shot a personal documentary : Moksha, a film reflecting the lives of the Dom People in Varanasi.

I have worked with production houses such as TheVibe Studios, Camera and Shorts, Studio Camphor, The Bombay Film Company and Dreamcatchers TV.

My roles included working as an Assistant Director/Producer for documentary series, branded campaigns, corporate films, platform-based content and social media marketing.

I’ve worked with creators and teams from Amazon Prime, Amazon miniTV, and Hotstar.
