PAN NALIN came into global limelight with his feature Samsara. A self-taught filmmaker and screenwriter, Nalin was born in a remote village in Gujarat, India. The richest thing his family gave to him was his spiritual upbringing. Early in his career, after shooting some four animation and twenty short silent films, Nalin concluded that the best film school is life itself. He made several documentaries with BBC, Discovery, Canal Plus and other leading international networks. His multiple award winning feature documentary Ayurveda: Art of Being was theatrically released worldwide with major success. Ayurveda celebrated a yearlong theatrical run in Spain and record-breaking three-year long run in France. The film met with similar success in USA, Canada, Germany, Holland and elsewhere. Nalin's first feature film Samsara was a massive commercial and critical success worldwide and won him some thirty plus international awards. Nalin's next feature film, Valley of Flowers, was pres-sold to nearly 35 countries and is considered a major underground hit. It still continues to enjoy theatrical release with critical and commercial success worldwide. Valley of Flowers was filmed in remote, high altitude Himalayas and in Japan. It won Best Picture at IFFLA Los Angles, and also won four nominations at IAAC New York, including Best Picture and Best Director. At present, Nalin is working on a film on life of Buddha, a mega action-adventure epic The First Warrior and supernatural thriller titled H2O. in 2007, TMG (David Flint's Triangle Media Group UK) awarded Pan Nalin as one of the Top 50 Achievers in Global Mainstream Media in the field of Film, Theatre & Drama.
