Nithiyasri (Thiya) Kasiviswanathan
Welcome. Thanks for your interest. I am Nithiyasri Kasiviswanathan (you're sweating there, call me Thiya).
I love watching movies. I love making movies. I hope to make more movies. Movies that have a soul, and are written with passion and depth.
I am based in London (for now). Born in India.
My work is interdisciplinary, from writing/directing/shooting short films to performing theatre. However, I have a strong interest in Cinematography. Read My Work section below or click on My Work to see my work. If my work is working for you, then let's work together.

MY WORK
Thiya has experience working on indie short films with a range of cameras, including Arri (Classic, Mini, Mini LF, SXT), Red and Blackmagic. Her work as a Cinematographer for a period short film, As You Wish, has gained her recognition in festivals (Finalist at The European Cinematography Awards, Semi-finalist at New York Cinematography Awards). She is keen to work on stories that have a soul, something that feels authentic and explores new perspectives.
She started working on short films as a camera assistant (still does it), now slowly moving to take up DoP roles.
She also enjoys photography (digital and film) and is keen to explore that area by working in fashion or editorials.
Thiya also writes and directs (once in a while). Her first short film was called A Sense of You, which was recognised in multiple film festivals, Nahemi Eat Our Shorts and London Lift Off to name a few. It is a 4-minute non-dialogue short about the reverie of a patient, Elena, who loses her hospital roommate.
Her second short is called A Candy Tale. Set in a restaurant, a girl tries to procure a candy that runs away from her.
​
Thiya is working on her third short called She could never.
