Don Aravind has been consistently been straddling between film and television with integral relationships of both mediums, finding a balance that fuels his creative oeuvre. His award winning short films have been screened locally and internationally at film festivals.  In 2015, he was the pioneer batch of directors that worked on Singapore’s first English Daily Long Form “Tanglin”. He had directed 120 Episodes for the series. Don has also worked on a number of television shows for MediaCorp which have been well received. In 2018, he had created his first web-drama titled “DRIVE” under a new initiative funded by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDAI and produced by Viddsee Studios. The series eventually was in competition at Festival Series Mania and Marseille Web Festival in France. His short film titled “ANGEL” had also been screened at the 28th Singapore International Film Festival. In 2019, Don was part of the HBO Asia series titled Food Lore which he had directed an episode. 

Episode 11 -In this episode Don talks about working with actors and DPs. Another very Director-centric episode- here he shares his experiences with- diva actors, so called trained actors n non actors. Working with CYNTHIA KOH for the first time in a Mandarin language drama. Discussing about building that trust between the director and actors. 'Working the ‘magic’. Being impressed with a young inexperienced JABU DEEN and see how he has developed so far. He also shares his varied experience working with DP SHYAN and DP MICHAEL ZAW. I have known Don since 2015 on the set of ***Tanglin***. It was Singapore's longest English TV long form series- running at more than 800 plus (half hr) episodes and it had a number of directors on board. And we were part of that. Super ep. Enjoy.
