For Kiran, cameras and storytelling have been part of his life since childhood. He comes from a family deeply intertwined with film and image-making. From his great-grandfather, Yacov Bogopolsky—the inventor of the famed Bolex camera—to his grandfather, father, and even his cousin, the world of film and cameras forms an integral foundation of his life.
About
I am a Director, DOP, Colorist. From being a professional Jazz pianist, playing and working with grammy award winning artists, to being a middleweight Golden Gloves state champion boxer, the thing that ties all my passions together is a relentless pursuit of mastery. I believe that at the bottom line, storytelling, is the most interesting human endeavor. What captivates me most is not the medium the story comes in, wether that be the bandstand, the screen, or the ring, but rather the quest and ability to tell that story in the most compelling and direct way possible.
