Brand Film · Community
Documentary · Mentorship
A short documentary following the N100Y Speaker Series, coordinators, mentors, and mentees sharing what a year of learning, guidance, and community really looks like from the inside.
Documentary · Schools
Documentary · Schools
A short-form animated documentary on youth vaping produced for BC school districts. Built to reach students where awareness campaigns typically don't, through honest, visual storytelling.
01
A concise, polished film that helps your organization clearly communicate who you are, what you do, and why it matters. Built for websites, presentations, outreach, and donor meetings.
02
A more developed flagship film that captures mission, personality, and the people behind the work. Built for campaigns, donor communications, events, and brand refreshes.
03
A deeper documentary-style piece that explores the people, context, and change behind the work. Built for fundraising campaigns, awareness initiatives, screenings, and high-stakes stakeholder storytelling.
Every project starts with the human truth at the centre of the work. We find the real story, the founder's moment, the life that changed, and build the film around that.
Every film is built to do something real: build credibility with funders, create connection at a gala, support a campaign, or anchor a grant application. Not a commercial. Something that works.
You work directly with the filmmaker from concept through delivery. We scope the narrative, manage production, and deliver multi-format packages. Strategic thinking, not just a camera.
I'm Nikhil, a documentary filmmaker and brand storyteller based in Surrey, BC.
My background is in producing documentaries, awareness campaigns, and brand films for nonprofits, schools, and community organizations across the Lower Mainland and BC. Before Lumo, I spent years making films for organizations where the story had to actually land, whether that meant building trust with funders, connecting with a community, or helping people understand why the work matters.
I started Lumo because the organizations doing the most important work in our communities are often the ones with the least support telling their story. A well-made film changes that. It shifts how funders see you. It moves people who otherwise wouldn't know you exist.
Every project I take on, I bring the same instinct: find the human truth, build the story around it, and deliver something that actually works.
