UFOclub Creative LLC / Sharad Kant Patel / Filmmaker
I'm a filmmaker able to take a production from writing, through shooting & editing, to final sound mix & color correction on my own as a one man production machine. But, I also work well in collaboration, in either a specific role, or managing a team. I consider freelance work of all types, specializing in stretching a low budget to reach aesthetic quality.
