VIVEKANANDA KONDAPALLI

Writer & Director

I live in NY. I make films.

I am a filmmaker with a passion for crafting psychologically immersive narratives that blur the line between reality and perception. My body of work includes two short films, Rue The Day and Phoenix, as well as my debut feature film, The Last Vigil, currently in post-production. I am also set to commence production on my next feature, The Pit Stop.

Originally from Hyderabad, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and cinematic storytelling to my work. With a Master’s in Computer Science and formal training from the New York Film Academy(NYFA), I approach filmmaking with a meticulous eye for detail, structure, and emotional depth. My stories often explore themes of human resilience, morality, and the psychological complexities that shape our decisions.

I have a deep love for intense action dramas and neo-noir aesthetics, drawing inspiration from gritty realism and layered, morally complex characters. I am passionate about building immersive, realistic worlds on an epic scale, where every frame contributes to a larger, emotionally charged experience. Through my films, I aim to create visceral, thought-provoking cinema that lingers long after the credits roll.

I strive to make films that meet international standards and engage audiences across all cultures, crafting stories that resonate universally while retaining their unique artistic and emotional depth.
