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.
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. I am based in London.

MY WORK
Thiya has worked as a Cinematographer on short films bringing each story to life with a distinct visual voice. She has completed her Arri Certified Training and has experience working with a wide range of cameras, including Arri (Amira, Mini, Mini LF, SXT), Blackmagic (URSAs, Pyxis), Sony (FX3, FX6) to name a few. Her period short film, As You Wish, earned recognition on the festival circuit, including Finalist at The European Cinematography Awards and Semi-finalist at the New York Cinematography Awards. She is keen to work on stories that have a soul, something that feels authentic and explores new perspectives. Starting as a camera assistant—a role she still embraces—Thiya is now stepping into DoP roles, drawn to authentic stories that explore fresh perspectives.
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.
