His recent work Kusunda is co-created with the eponymous indigenous group in Nepal and highlights their fight for language reclamation. Kusunda won the prestigious Storyscapes Award at Tribeca Film Festival. He is a Sundance New Frontier alumnus and has been awarded the ‘Best Use of Immersive Arts’ at SXSW as well as the Lumiere Award for ‘Best VR documentary’ among other accolades.
