Arora

Filmmaker & Director

I write, direct, edit, score, and perform in my own films, from first word to final cut. Zero-budget shorts in psychological thriller and existential drama, where the line between reality and what we imagine keeps dissolving.

The longest film in the body of work. Explores memory, grief, and the fragments of a life replayed: what we hold onto and what slowly slips away.

An Insomniac’s Dream Watch ↗

What happens when insomnia collides with REM lucid dreaming and the line between sleep and reality dissolves. Based on a true story: a brain starved of rest begins creating images and sounds that spill into waking life.

Accident Watch ↗

A metaphor for life’s cruellest moments: helplessness, regret, and despair when events spiral beyond control. About what we mourn not for what we did, but for what we could never change.

About

I’m a filmmaker based in Brisbane, currently studying Film and Animation at QUT. My work sits in psychological thriller, existential inquiry, and emotional drama. Stories about consciousness, identity, and the fragility of reality.

Every project is a zero-budget solo production. I set up the camera, wire the mics, and handle the audio, then step in front of the lens and perform. I write, direct, edit, sound design, and act in my own work, from first word to final cut.
