Harshik Suraiya, Director & Co-founder at @filmsbyvanilla.
Introducing the illustrious Harshik Suraiya - a luminary in the realms of Filmmaking, Writing, and Graphic Design. His prodigious body of work has earned him accolades from some of the most esteemed names in media, including The New York Times, Time Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.

Recently, Harshik embarked on an unforgettable journey to Goa with three college friends - a much-anticipated boys’ trip that had been fifteen years in the making. What he experienced during his holiday was nothing short of a revelation, as he discovered a Goa unlike any he had encountered before. This was a Goa imbued with the spirit of freedom - where he could make new friends, strike up conversations with strangers, and ride his bike through the deserted streets in the dead of night.
Harshik's Goa adventure was a smorgasbord of hedonistic delights, where he rubbed shoulders with intergalactic beings (or at least people dressed like them), indulged in techno-fueled retail therapy, and communed with the setting sun on the beach - the two of them sharing a profound moment of eye-to-eye connection.
This trip was just the beginning of many more escapades to come, for Harshik Suraiya is a man who knows that great films make a great world - and he intends to live his life accordingly.
