About me

I'm Utkarsh Bankar, a Communication Design graduate from the National Institute of Design, Madhya Pradesh. Hailing from Belgaum, Karnataka, a city surrounded by natural beauty. I've always drawn inspiration from my surroundings. My journey into the world of art began with a deep-rooted passion for sketching and painting, which gradually evolved into a focused interest in animation.

Since graduating, I've worked on a range of animation projects including music videos, teasers, and short films, both independently and in collaboration with studios.

Most recently, I wrote, directed, and animated my own 2D short film, "Hirva", which premiered at Animela International Festival and is currently making its way through the international festival circuit.

I'm currently open to collaborations and freelance opportunities where I can contribute to bold, imaginative, and engaging animation projects.
