Director's Bio

Aditya Thayi is tough as titanium nails. At the age of 11 he was sent to military school. At 12 he absconded and trekked 300 kilometers home only to be sent back to school the next day. He makes films to make sense of those four days. When he is not de-licing wild galician horses or heavily petting bull sharks, he runs Peddling Pictures, to make films that move.
