Biography

Sabarinath is an independent filmmaker from Kerala, India, whose work is rooted in emotional realism, quiet storytelling, and the unspoken tensions that exist between people. Drawn to intimate narratives and characters who carry fragile inner worlds, he uses cinema as a mirror to memory, longing, silence, and the invisible weight of timing. His filmography includes the poetic short 7 Minute (2025), a reflective story of a love that remained unconfessed until it was too late; In Between (2025), an intimate exploration of the quiet emotional spaces between connection and hesitation within college life, and His upcoming short Hope (2026) is a visually atmospheric work centered on fate, chance encounters, and the collision of three lives in the fleeting moments before graduation, and Together (2026), a gentle, relationship-driven narrative shaped by longing, timing, and the fragile balance between closeness and distance. As both writer and director of his films, he builds narratives from the smallest human gestures — a glance, a hesitation, a silence — allowing emotion to unfold subtly rather than through exposition. Stylistically, Sabarinath often works with muted dialogue, restrained performances, ambient soundscapes, and grounded framing.
