Akash Ercolini-Bhatia

Akash Manuel Ercolini‑Bhatia is an emerging filmmaker and storyteller based in the United States, known for directing student short films that probe emotional truths and human complexity. Currently a student at Oaks Christian, Akash writes and directs works such as Vita (2022), Tied (2022), The Secret (2024), and Remembered (2023), often exploring themes like memory, creativity, identity, and the impact of trauma.

His tripartite role in his films—serving also as writer and editor—lends his work a personal, introspective quality and demonstrates a command of visual storytelling that belies his student status.
