VISHNU VIJAYAN
Filmmaker
Founder, VJUN Studios
Vishnu Vijayan was born in Malappuram, Kerala, and grew up in Chennai. He developed an early interest in storytelling and cinema, often writing short stories and experimenting with creative ideas.
​
A major turning point came in 2009 when he watched James Cameron’s Avatar in theatres, and that experience ignited his fascination with filmmaking and visual storytelling. Despite studying engineering, his love for narrative and photography led him to pursue filmmaking. During his college years, Vishnu wrote and directed a couple of short films, and later founded his production and post-production company, VJUN Studios.
Vishnu began working as a video production technician on online platforms and later expanded his experience through freelance roles as an assistant director, cinematographer, editor, and VFX artist.
In 2016, Vishnu worked as the editor and co-cinematographer on the short film Suspects The Encounter.
In 2017, he edited the acclaimed horror short film X, also contributing VFX and sound design—work that earned him international recognition from AVID.
In 2021, he shot and edited the series Love O'Clock. Vishnu later made his feature debut as associate director and editor on the Tamil film Athomugam. He is currently working as associate director on the upcoming Tamil films Marriage Story and an Untitled Project (directed by Rathna Kumar).
