In 2013, Indian filmmaker Shiva Prasad was trapped in a Himalayan tsunami. Having survived the onslaught, Shiva documented the catastrophe using his Samsung  GT-N7100. This experiment in spontaneous reportage earned him Second Place in the 2014 Mobil Film Festival.

Shiva was born in Rajahmundry, a holy town in the eastern part of India. He writes: “I developed passion for filmmaking in my teens.” After completing his education, he diid various jobs on Indian and British productions. His goal, he says, “is to become a Global Filmmaker.”
