About Arpan Bahl

He grew up with stories through his formative years, hearing them by word of mouth, reading and watching them. He expressed himself on stage and on paper, in the form of declamation, writing theatre and poems. As he grew up, he discovered a relationship with visual stories. Each time he saw a film he would feel a strong connection, a desire to tell a story on film. And he developed a strong sense of observation. These two combined to make him an artist.
Telling unique stories became the raison d’etre of this film maker, in the making. It was for him, the very source of life. When he finished school and college in New Delhi, his obsession grew. Until fate took him to Mumbai, the city of dreams. The city of Bollywood and entertainment television. He worked in television creating & managing content for over 17 years. All this while living by his raison d’etre. The time came to distil all that he had learnt and found. To tell a story that represented him and his journey so far. A story that would bear his stamp. The Last Jam Jar, his first short film was born. It took a lot as it was shot before the lockdown and post produced during and after it was over. It became for him a reaffirmation of his raison d’etre as an artist.
