THE SPECK IN YOUR EYE
The smallest speck reveals the deepest wounds
Ensemble Revenge Thriller
After his brother’s sudden death, an immigrant convinces himself it was an act of discrimination - only to realize the prejudice he’s fighting also lives within him.
When a young Deaf, gay man dies under mysterious circumstances, his grieving family’s pursuit of justice spirals into obsession, exposing buried secrets and the dangerous biases that bind them all.
What if perception is not just a filter, but is used as a weapon?
Vikram: An overprotective, emotionally volatile Indian American man whose fierce loyalty conceals deep wounds.Chris: A Caucasian writer, emotionally complex, wrestling with guilt and identity.Sameer: The late Deaf, queer young man whose death sets the story in motion.Ruth: A resilient, principled African American woman who navigates grief with quiet strength and hidden pain.Anne: Struggling with addiction and trauma, her relationship fractures and secrets haunt the family.
I wrote this story with two intentions.First, to expose the duplicitous nature of human behavior - our eagerness to judge, condemn, and moralize in others what we quietly ignore in ourselves. In an age of online outrage and self-righteousness, I wanted to hold up a mirror to our collective hypocrisy.Second, to bring South Asian characters into the mainstream of global storytelling - not as cultural sidebars or confined narratives, but as fully realized individuals who exist, love, and collide within the diverse fabric of Western society.

THE SCENT OF HIM
some men leave a mark, others leave a scent.
Psychological Drama Feature
We don’t miss people - we miss the version of ourselves we were around them, and the memory becomes our medicine, or our scent.
When a couple becomes entangled with their magnetic former teacher, desire and imitation blur the line between intimacy and identity - until his sudden reappearance years later threatens the fragile life they built without him.
What if memory isn’t how we remember someone - but how they remember us?
Maddy: A woman hardened by loss, still tethered to the version of herself she buried years ago.Aaron: Emotionally adrift, desperate for direction, haunted by what he’s not - and who he might become.Ronnie/Roy: Charismatic and elusive. A living ghost who reopens wounds by simply existing.Allison: A pop star whose songs became their shared ritual. She’s never met them - but her voice scores their grief.
A fond memory can bring a smile. Sometimes, it does more than that - it tricks us into thinking the past can be relived. A song, a scent, a quiet moment can make it feel like someone is still here. Like they never left.That feeling is a kind of placebo. It soothes. It simulates. But it isn’t real. And yet, we hold onto it - because the alternative is too painful. What we forget is that the version of ourselves who lived those moments is gone too. Time reshapes us, quietly. So when the past reappears in the present, we react not as we once did - but as someone new. And that gap - between who we were and who we are - is where this story lives.The Scent of Him is born from that space. It’s about grief that lingers, intimacy that gets distorted by memory, and the strange, tender way desire can morph into imitation.The question I asked myself while writing this was: how far would we go to keep someone close, even if it means losing ourselves in the process?This isn’t just a story about love or loss. It’s about the placebos we use to hold on - and the cost of finally letting go.

THE LIGHT BETWEEN US
When does destiny become design?
Ensemble Social Commentary Feature Drama
In a town eager to prove its progressiveness, diversity becomes a commodity - and the families chosen to represent it become collateral.
When an Indian and a Jewish family relocate to the idyllic town of Manderville, their uncanny synchronicity sparks a viral movement - until suspicion, ambition, and betrayal fractures the illusion, revealing a deeper agenda behind the town’s picture-perfect harmony.
What if you moved to a new town, and you found your perfect mirror image living next door?
Preet: A woman of grace and control, quietly eroded by her need to belong. Her journey is one of unlearning - and reclaiming.Beth: Rational, principled, emotionally guarded. A mother torn between truth and perception.Deep: A history professor obsessed with causality, slowly realizing the present is more chaotic than any theory.Todd: A literature professor masking mediocrity with charm, caught between privilege and performance.Justin: A polished “progressive” who cloaks manipulation in equity-speak. A puppet master losing control.Cassy: A cynical influencer caught between complicity and courage.
I wrote The Light Between Us with two intentions.First, to explore how the pursuit of inclusion can quietly morph into performance - and how systems built to celebrate diversity often end up commodifying it. In a world of curated belonging, I wanted to ask: what happens when your identity becomes someone else’s narrative?Second, to center South Asian characters in a story that isn’t about assimilation or trauma alone - but about ambiguity, agency, and resistance. This isn’t just a story about representation; it’s a story about recognition - and what it costs when recognition is engineered.

ROBIN IN TWO PLACES
Perfect isn't real
Psychological Sci-Fi Drama
Robin created a better version of himself - only to discover that moving forward means integrating who he was with who he is, not replacing one with the other.
When a disillusioned stay-at-home dad agrees to clone his consciousness for a radical AI experiment, he watches in secret horror as his perfected double begins living the life - and loving the woman - he thought he’d lost.
What if the only way to win back your life was to let someone else live it?
Robin: A man desperate to feel whole, Robin seeks redemption through reinvention.Sharon: Sharp, unsparing, and emotionally guarded, she is both mirror and judge to Robin - her affection elusive, her disappointment quietly devastating.Devon: An idealized replica of Robin, he is the promise of potential made real - yet his existence exposes the aching gap between who we are and who we pretend to be.Clayton: Brilliant but emotionally disengaged, he treats consciousness like code - unable to see the human toll of his ambition until it’s too late.Natalie: Warm, intuitive, and quietly radical, Natalie sees through the illusion of perfection - offering Robin not rescue, but reflection.
They say we’re born anew every day - that with each passing moment, we outgrow versions of ourselves. In theory, we’re constantly updating, improving. But in practice, we often feel stuck - trapped in the version of ourselves that feels broken, unremarkable, or somehow not enough.We push toward progress. We curate our lives online. Sometimes, we even pretend to be better than we feel. But what happens when self-improvement feels out of reach? When even the idea of change feels impossible?That’s where Robin in Two Places began.I wondered: What if technology could create a better version of us - one that didn’t just look the part on social media, but lived it in the real world? What if that version didn’t just represent us, but replaced us? Would we feel fulfilled watching it succeed? Or would we slowly disappear?Robin in Two Places isn’t just a story about AI or futuristic cloning. It’s about something achingly human: the desire to be loved, seen, and whole. It’s about the illusion that perfection will bring peace. And it’s about the cost of giving someone else permission to live the life we’re still trying to love.This film doesn’t argue against growth. It asks: Can happiness be delegated? Can self-worth be witnessed instead of lived? And when we split ourselves in two - into the person we are and the person we wish we were - what happens to the part that gets left behind?In the end, Robin in Two Places suggests that wholeness doesn’t come from perfection, or from winning back what we’ve lost - it comes from making peace with every version of ourselves we’ve ever been.

LEELA
One curse. Several lives. No escape
Psychological Supernatural Horror
Leela, haunted by trauma, must confront the self she’s spent lifetimes trying to forget.
When a grieving woman invites a mysterious stranger into her home, she’s forced to confront haunting visions, buried trauma, and a karmic bond that spans lifetimes - until the line between who she is and who she was begins to vanish.
What if the woman haunting you… was you?
Leela: A spiritual coach haunted by personal loss, Leela searches for peace amid growing psychological unrest and mysterious intrusions into her life.Eric: A successful but emotionally distant husband whose ambition and rationality begin to falter as his carefully managed life starts to unravel.Camila: An elegant, elusive woman whose sudden appearance ignites a chain of events that forces everyone around her to question what is real.Jonathan: A protective older brother from a distant past, whose unresolved family tensions cast a long shadow over the present.
I believe that we live a karmic life - karma or destiny has a role to play in our journey. The usual cause-and-effect principle can definitely be experienced in a single lifetime: you do something good, good things happen to you - and vice versa.But I often wondered - what if karma is not limited to a single lifetime, but spans across multiple lifetimes?That would mean the effects we are experiencing in this lifetime could have been caused in a previous one. How bizarre is that? A lifetime we know nothing about.That curiosity triggered the genesis of Leela. What if lifetimes spin a vicious cycle - the same pattern repeating in each lifetime, unless that cycle is broken?Of course, it’s all fantastical. But is it truly beyond the grasp of our imagination?Vicious crimes happen daily in this world - greed, anger, jealousy are the usual themes behind most of them. But the origin of those thoughts and feelings could reside in a different lifetime.Truth is stranger than fiction - or are they?

KNOW NOTHING
What's done in the dark always comes to light
Psychological Crime Thriller
When buried truths refuse to stay silent, the sins of a predator echo through generations until justice - however brutal - finally claims its due.
A woman who unknowingly married her rapist must confront decades of denial when her daughter discovers the horrifying truth that threatens to unravel their entire family.
Can love built on buried trauma ever be real, or does denial only deepen the wounds that truth must eventually expose?
Graham: A wealthy, charismatic philanthropist whose charm masks a darkness he confesses to God but refuses to confront within himself.Jane: A trauma survivor who chooses the comfort of denial over the pain of truth, rebuilding her life on a foundation she's too afraid to examine.Sheila: Jane's fiercely loyal friend whose instinct for truth becomes an obsession when the justice system fails the women around her.Melissa: A compassionate nurse who inherits both her mother's vulnerability and an unexpected capacity to face what her family has buried.Tyler: A man searching for belonging and authentic connection while carrying secrets he doesn't yet understand.Simone: A trans woman rebuilding her life after her mother's death, driven by a need to make her absent father acknowledge - and pay for - her existence.
Sins of the father - can they have consequences? How much of what we go through in our lifetime is due to just that - the sins of the father? How will our sons and daughters also have to pay for our sins?An undetected crime is still a crime, but the universe has a way to bring the crime to light - perhaps not when the crime is committed, but perhaps years later. But a crime never goes unpunished - and when the crime gets detected years later, who pays for the sin?That is the genesis of Know Nothing. The story is one of two generations - one generation does the crime, and the next pays for it. And how does it pay for it? Not in the same way the original crime was committed but in a completely different way. It's inevitable, inescapable. It's the generational trauma that is passed down from one to the next.We can run but can we truly hide? The story explores that while we can cover up a crime, the cover-up itself becomes toxic, seeping into everything it touches. Denial doesn't erase violence - it metastasizes. Silence doesn't protect the innocent - it poisons them. What we refuse to face in one generation manifests as fate in the next, often in ways we could never predict or prepare for.The story suggests that no matter how deeply we bury our sins, no matter how much we sedate ourselves against reality, blood remembers what memory tries to forget. DNA doesn't lie. Truth has a way of surfacing.This is a story about the price of complicity, the cost of looking away, and the terrible mathematics of karmic debt. It asks: when justice is denied, does fate intervene? And when it does, who bears the burden - the guilty, the innocent, or both? In Know Nothing, the answer is as devastating as it is inevitable: everyone pays. Some sins are so profound that they reshape the very fabric of family, turning love into horror and innocence into complicity across generations.Ultimately, this is a meditation on truth - its weight, its persistence, and its terrible power to both destroy and liberate. What's done in the dark always comes to light. The only question is: will we survive the illumination?

GIFT OF FAMILIAR FACES
Some encounters are anything but random
Short Drama Feature
When chance meetings can awaken memories, heal distance, and change the meaning of family.
On a work trip, a young man’s unexpected encounter with a captivating stranger sets off a chain of coincidences that will quietly reshape the lives around him.
What if a fleeting connection could alter everything you thought you knew about love and belonging?
Mark: A witty, warmhearted professional who hides his loneliness behind humor and routine.Alyssa: A creative young mother whose laughter masks an ache she rarely admits.Anita: A poised traveler with an artist’s eye and a quiet air of nostalgia.
I often find the most precious moments when I’m not looking for them. Is it coincidence - or fate? Some say there’s no such thing as coincidence, that every encounter carries its own meaning and purpose.I wrote this short screenplay to explore how serendipity works. On the surface, a chance event might seem to benefit someone else, yet because we are present at its center, it transforms us too.It’s in moments like these - fleeting but profound - that life quietly changes. Quick as they may be, they leave an imprint that can alter the course of our lives forever.

VERIDA
The birth of time begins with a single breath
Television Pilot
When a civilization without time discovers the first measure of it, their eternal harmony fractures—awakening creation, conflict, and consciousness itself.
In a world where time does not exist and life flows in perfect rhythm with nature, artist Rico and visionary painter Odri ignite a revolution of consciousness when the forbidden concept of time reawakens - forcing their people to choose between eternal harmony and the evolution that may destroy them.
If existence has no beginning or end, what happens the moment someone decides to measure it?
Rico: A serene artist devoted to presence who becomes the unwitting vessel through which time itself is born.Odri: A brilliant but defiant painter whose desire to give form to the formless awakens creation, ego, and the fall of Verida.Roda: A gentle soul who fears dissolution, embodying the struggle between acceptance and the instinct to hold on.Zuki: A curious philosopher whose search to understand life’s patterns unknowingly opens the door to measurement and mortality.Kael: A blind sculptor who sees through vibration and spirit, the first to sense the corruption hidden within beauty.Pavi: A healer grounded in reason who tries to mend Verida’s unraveling harmony, only to realize some wounds belong to belief itself.
What is time - a fact of existence, or a story we tell to make sense of it?We mark our lives by time: birthdays, anniversaries, beginnings, and ends. Yet the act of celebration always happens now.The past exists only in memory; the future only in imagination. If a store sign promised "Free Candy Tomorrow," would that tomorrow ever arrive?Modern mindfulness teaches us to live in the present, yet most of us can't hold the "now" for more than a few breaths before being pulled back into memory or forward into anticipation. I wanted to explore what would happen if a society actually succeeded - if an entire civilization lived wholly in the present moment.
That world is Verida - a realm without time, currency, or ownership, where life is art and breath is exchange. But paradise, even one beyond time, is fragile. What happens when the idea of time - of counting, measuring, possessing - seeps back in?Verida is written as a timeless narrative in every sense: its inhabitants are genderless and ageless, reflecting both the expansive possibilities of casting and the society's intrinsic state of flux - where identity, like time itself, is fluid, collective, and endlessly becoming.

NOVEL
SMUDGE
a story about the scars we carry
Published Book
Ken Sommerfeld, a legendary New York makeup artist, is losing his sight - and his grip on reality. As his vision fades, he sculpts faces blindfolded, chasing an impossible ideal of perfection. Then Shunoyna Roy walks into his studio: a 21-year-old British-Indian supermodel whose beauty disrupts everything he thought he knew about flawlessness.What begins as mentorship becomes obsession. What feels like love becomes something darker. In the ruthless world of high fashion where beauty is currency and perfection is demanded, their relationship unravels them both - revealing the scars they’ve spent a lifetime trying to hide.Told across fractured timelines and haunted perspectives, Smudge explores what we’re willing to sacrifice for an unattainable ideal - and what we lose when we finally let it go.
Spanning continents and decades, Smudge is a literary psychological drama about the pursuit of beauty, control, and redemption. When art becomes obsession, love becomes manipulation - and the ghosts of the past refuse to stay buried. From the studios of New York to the runways of Paris and the quiet streets of Brighton, Smudge traces the ripple effects of one artist’s impossible vision across generations, revealing how trauma, artistry, and love can both wound and transform.
Smudge explores the inheritance of obsession - how the pursuit of perfection in art and love can become its own form of blindness. It delves into the intersections of beauty and control, trauma and transformation, muse and maker. With the rhythm of a psychological thriller and the emotional reach of literary fiction, it asks: can we ever separate creation from possession - or are all masterpieces, in some way, acts of damage?
One of the driving forces behind this novel was a desire to explore the complexities of the human experience - particularly how we navigate love, loss, and the search for meaning. Through the journeys of Ken, Mario, Shunoyna, and others, I’ve tried to capture the emotional terrain of relationships, the ripple effects of our choices, and the quiet power of resilience and redemption.This story also stems from a deep personal fascination with beauty and art - and how they shape our identity and sense of worth. Ken’s evolving philosophy as a makeup artist offered a unique lens through which to challenge traditional notions of beauty, and to reflect on the imperfections and scars that make us human.At its heart, Smudge is a story about connection.This is my debut novel and first edition. While I’ve worked hard to polish it, some errors may remain.- Anir

POEMS
The stillness beneath the story.Where my screenplays explore human fracture through character and conflict, these poems sit in the philosophical questions underneath - presence and measurement, surrender and control, the paradox of being everything and nothing at once. If my films ask questions through drama, these poems offer meditation. They're the breath behind the work.

Why do I see three of me?
One on a raft, adrift at sea
One in a temple, praying to Thee
One in this realm, yearning to be free
The soul rides the raft - still, yet moving
The Lord dwells in the shrine - silent, yet soothing
And I sit in this chair - restless, yet healing
Am I truly all the three at once?
Floating, praying, aching at every pulse?
Let there be - just me
Let there be unbounded, limitless glee
But what of the waves and the temple’s chill?
What of the joy that flickers, yet cannot stay still?
Let all of that live in me
Let me be all three
Let the warmth of the temple soften the tides
Let the hush of the sea calm the temple’s sides
Let the solitude within still the turbulent rides
Let there be balance - at every moment, on every stride.
Nothing is broken
Nothing is rotten
Nothing is rough
Nothing is flawed
Nothing is lost
Nothing has gone awry
Nothing needs unraveling
Because
Everything is nothing
Everything is air
Everything is a particle
Everything is a figment of imagination
Everything is ours, yet
Nothing is ours
Everything is a lotus in the mud
Everything is a diamond in the mine
Nothing is empty in the mind
Nothing is permanent in the mind
Everything is a moment
A moment is a drop in an ocean
Nothing is a drop in an ocean
I am the luckiest soul in this wild malarkey
Not for what I possess or for all I have won,
But for finding the place deep inside me
Where bliss is not earned, and needs no race to run.
I walk through this world with a crown none can see.
I carry a light no shadow can dim.
My soul walks beside me, steady and free
Not above, not behind, but my closest within.
This inner realm keeps me whole and warm.
It is sacred. It is sovereign. It is mine.
No fear, no shame, no outer storm
Can touch or tarnish its steady shine.
I give thanks for this grace I’m holding
More than for breath, more than for birth.
I’m grateful for the quiet unfolding:
This world within me, rooted in Earth.
May I honor it in each step I take.
May I remember, though the world forgets.
May I live as the king I was born to be
But only in the world my soul begets.
The soul dreams of a human life
Sitting in the vast empty space
A life that is not without strife
But a life that is lived with grace
The players in the dream know not the soul
It sees life as a period in-between
Only to realize they are only but players with a transient goal
The period is nothing more than a pattern on a wooden beam.
The dreamer is still, spaces move around
The player is restless, always on the move
But when the dream finds stillness on the ground
The dreamer and the dream find the silent groove
The silence attunes the player to the dream
The dream listens, guided by the soul
The soul whispers - the purpose behind life’s scream
The player quietens but remains - to live the human life, in its whole.
Why do I find myself in a prison of freedom,
Where shackles and chains don’t belong?
I am free - free to rule my kingdom,
With no defiance, no resistance - just to sing my song.
Freedom is earned; it is sacred.
It’s always been with me, not hiding but in full display.
Yet I feel enslaved - unable to shake the dread.
I stand torn: to be free, or remain consumed by life’s fray.
Why have I given the keys to my shackles to others,
When they are but phantoms of the mind?
Why do I await permission from my brothers,
When the freedom I seek has never been confined?
I know not how to live a life free of strife,
Amidst the tempests of the sea, unaligned.
To become a child again — before they placed my shackles and shaped my life.
Little did I know, I always had the key — buried deep within the tangle of my mind.
Now I open the shackles and the chains, hesitant in every move.
Will there be rainbows and unicorns at my call?
I am greeted with stillness and silence - where I have nothing to prove.
No rainbows, no unicorns - only light, soft and subtle, a gentle waterfall.
I am the dew on the petal of a red rose
I am the ray of the sun fallen on the bare wall
I am the ripple on the river that joins the flows
I am the leaf drifting through the fall
I am the light that no one can see
I am the shadow that no one can spot
I am the aroma of the morning coffee
I am the flavor in the stirring pot
I am everywhere, but no one notices
I am nothing, yet I am all there is
I am not in the mirror where everyone focuses
I am not in the joys and the lows within the layers of the abyss
I am everything, yet I don’t ever exist
I am not the body or the child or the brother
I am but stillness in the worldly mist
I am only a dream - and that’s enough to wonder.
Surrender is stillness
It’s the silent conversation with the Divine -
The moment when the mind rests
When wisdom emerges, brighter than sunshine.
It is to remember that His grace awaits embrace,
A moment when the shared world quietens,
And the world that’s only mine fills our space -
Though not without tussling with the constant chatter and irrelevance.
Even in the tussle - bloom roses and rainbows,
Arriving not in waves, but in moments -
Yet enough to soothe our lowest lows,
As the flower brightens, releasing its sweetest scents.
We ask not for roses and rainbows, but an ear for our fears
We ask for answers when all our toil yields none,
We ask to be heard when our words fall on unkind ears,
We ask for a warm embrace when our vigor is done.
The answers seldom come in the moment we cry for aid,
But in quiet moments - after days, weeks, or more.
Profound wisdom makes the mind’s noise fade;
In stillness, we discern the voice from the uproar.
What is money but only sheets of paper,
What is paper but a bundle of energy,
What is energy but a burst of ether,
What is ether but the air we cannot see.
Then why do we care for that bundle of nothing?
Is it because it crowns us with higher rank —
All the strife, the battle, the endless fighting
To claim some numbers that rest in a bank.
If money is energy — let it flow;
What flows in must flow out.
Yet we hoard it, fearing the undertow,
Clinging to currents we know nothing about.
Then is it like our breath — flowing in and out?
But breath is life — the air fills our soul.
Money is meaning — a reason we tout;
It buys this world, but it’s never the true goal.
ABOUT CCP
Our MissionTo tell inclusive stories that question what we think we know about being human.Curious Chakras Productions was born from a simple belief - that meaningful stories matter. Stories we know exist but rarely see on screen: intimate, psychologically complex, and culturally rooted. As an immigrant from India, I’ve always wanted to show the smaller, quieter lives that make up a considerable part of the Western world - not as separate narratives, but as part of its living fabric.Our VisionTo be a trailblazing production house that changes how we understand one another.Our work represents voices that don’t always get the spotlight - LGBTQ+, Deaf, blind, and transgender individuals - not as subjects of “issue stories,” but as part of the shared human experience. The focus is always on what connects us: love, grief, ambition, belonging, and the quiet truths that define who we are.Our ApproachExploring identity, memory, and the stories we tell ourselves.We don’t tell stories in isolation. Our work explores how communities - whether defined by culture, sexuality, ability, or identity - navigate, influence, and are shaped by the wider world around them. We’re interested in the friction points, the surprising connections, and the shared humanity that emerges when different worlds intersect.Where We Are NowCurious Chakras Productions has developed a robust portfolio of original content:
• 7 feature film screenplays (all WGA registered)
• 1 television pilot
• 1 published novel (Smudge)
• A poetry collectionWe’re ready to bring these stories to life - and are actively seeking production partners, investors, and collaborators who share our vision for stories that entertain, challenge, and leave lasting impressions on global audiences.
ABOUT ME
I’ve lived most of my life at the intersection of structure and story - part strategist, part storyteller. For nearly two decades, I led global transformation programs across finance, payments, and emergency services, learning how complex systems - and the people within them - move, break, and rebuild. But somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t just building systems. I was searching for meaning.That search led me to writing. What began as reflection soon became revelation - a way to make sense of fate, love, loss, and the patterns that shape who we become. My work often lives in the spaces between worlds: realism and the surreal, logic and emotion, destiny and design.As an immigrant from India, a citizen of the UK now calling America home, I’m drawn to stories that explore belonging - what it means to be seen, to be othered, and to find connection despite the fractures. My characters don’t chase perfection; they chase truth.Through CCP, I bring that same curiosity to film, fiction, and poetry - creating stories that feel intimate yet universal. Stories that remind us that even in our contradictions, we are all part of the same unfolding human story.- Anir
