Don Palathara

Born and raised in a Syrian christian middle class family in Kerala, Don later migrated to Australia. He has directed two feature length independent films so far. Don has a unique style of film-making with his use of less experienced actors and shoe string budgets. His first movie Shavam was received well after its Netflix release. In Shavam, he choreographed approximately fifty characters gathered at a funeral along with their dialogues and movement. Vith is his more serious work. In Vith, he studies two characters and the dynamics between them.
