Rohit Arora
Artist. Polymath. Philosopher
Rohit Arora stands as a distinguished figure, adorned with multiple Remi Awards, attributed to his remarkable directorial prowess.
His crowning achievement is the internationally acclaimed film "The Pickup Artist," a cinematic masterpiece that debuted at the prestigious WorldFest Houston, the world's oldest independent film festival. This momentous premiere catapulted him into the realm of cinematic luminaries such as Steven Spielberg of "Jurassic Park" fame, George Lucas renowned for "Star Wars," Ang Lee, the visionary behind "The Life of Pi," the enigmatic David Lynch who directed "Mulholland Drive," the ingenious Coen Brothers responsible for "Barton Fink," and the legendary Francis Ford Coppola, director of "The Godfather."
The film's journey extended beyond its Houston debut, gracing various international film festivals from New York to Brazil, Columbia, Moscow, Netherlands, and London, earning plaudits for its unique script, distinct style, and visionary direction. A pivotal milestone was achieved as "The Pickup Artist" became the inaugural feature to grace Indian cinemas immediately after the 2020 lockdown, commanding an unprecedented six-week theatrical run. Its allure was such that it not only enticed audiences back to the cinema halls but also achieved house-full status through advance bookings. The movie's success narrative continued as it found a digital home on Amazon Prime, where it continues to thrive through a dedicated viewership.
Rohit's artistic journey ignited in 2008, alongside his college pursuits, when he ventured into the world of photography, recognizing the profound impact of existence captured through the lens. This odyssey led him to photograph numerous clients worldwide, specializing in the art of portraiture. His fervent dedication lies in unveiling the authentic beauty of women, an endeavor that continually stokes his passion for portrait photography. The upcoming venture "Mcguffin," produced under the banner of Roar Picture Company, consumes much of Rohit's creative energy, necessitating judicious selectivity in his photography endeavors. Yet, when he commits, no effort is spared to deliver excellence.
For over a decade, Rohit has been a beacon of confidence restoration, a catalyst for heightened self-esteem, and a catalyst for transformative change in the lives of his clients. His unwavering belief that every individual deserves to bask in their innate beauty transcends borders, drawing clients from across the world to partake in his transformative photo sessions. Beyond the realm of portraiture, Rohit extends his creative prowess to encompass advertising and editorial campaigns for discerning clients, a testament to his versatility when time permits.
