My name is Thamilini Balakumar

I'm a brand cinematographer and storyteller based in Toronto. My approach is rooted in documentary-style filmmaking: natural, intimate, and driven by real emotion. I’ve always believed that everyone has a story worth sharing, and there’s something special about telling those stories in a way that feels true to the person or purpose behind them.

​

Whether I’m working on a branded project, a personal film, or behind the scenes, my focus is on creating visuals that are thoughtful and intentional. I’m drawn to the small details and genuine moments that often go unnoticed but bring depth and meaning to the story.

​

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually exploring new places, soaking up culture, or just trying to see the world a little differently. That’s what keeps my work real and unique.
