At Granada, Atul specialised in Avid Editing while using his spare time to write, produce and direct ‘If It Don’t Kill Ya…’ a short fiction film that won rave reviews in the festival circuit. Atul followed this up by directing an award-winning documentary ‘Big Time’ – about a dwarf rock band trying to be taken seriously in the music business, which was aired by the ITV network.

Since then, Atul has produced and directed a wide range of documentaries, comedy, entertainment and branded content for all the major UK broadcasters including BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky as well as others worldwide including Discovery and National Geographic. Atul has regularly created the look and style of brand new series or pilots with great success.
