Nihal Singh grew up in Bangkok, Thailand - Right in the heart of the city. He started out making stop motion films in the year 2009. Ever since his aunt bought him a blue camcorder he has delved deep into his passion for the moving image and cinema. In 2015 he made his first proper short film called "Silence". By the time he graduated High School in 2017 he had produced and directed several independent short films one of which was a collaboration with artist Nevdon Jamgochian on the film "Stuck" (a short that has since screened at Lincoln Center for AGBU's Armenian's in Film). In 2018 Nihal self-produced an anthology feature film comprised of 7 short stories called "All The Lonely People". The whole film was made with a single DSLR, LED light, laptop and tripod. Since this he has gone on to produce a COVID web series "Late Night 2000" and short film "Herat's Greatest Fears". During his time in Chicago he worked as Cinematographer for Josh Leftwich's "How to Make an Egg Sandwich". He graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2024 and has moved to Brooklyn where he continues to produce independent art.
