Director's Biography

SS JISHNU DEV IS AN INDIAN FILM DIRECTOR WHO IS PREDOMINANTLY WORKING IN THE MALAYALAM AND TAMIL FILM INDUSTRY. He is awarded a URF Global Award for making the first found footage film in Tamil, titled "Amunda." SS Jishnu Dev was born on March 24, 1994, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. He completed his bachelor's degree in engineering in the stream of electronics and communication and then followed his passion for cinema. Amanuda is his debut film, which he filmed in 2018. The film was released in 2021 following his Malayalam feature film Upama (simile), which also got 120 international festival awards. As mentioned, Amanuda is the first attempt in the found footage genre, and initially struggled to convince the distributors what genre exactly the film was. We know that the Tamil film industry is one of the largest film industries in India. Even Amanuda gets rejected because of its unique style of filmmaking, which is not known to Tamil film people. After creating some awareness about the technique, he was well received by the people. Found-footage movies are very rare in the Indian film industry. But in Hollywood, there are plenty of them with good audience support. In Tamil, there is nothing like this kind of movie. SS Jishnu Dev Gets Inspired By Hollywood Movies Like "The Tunnel," "Blairwitch Project," "Paranormal Activity," and "Quarantine." These movies inspired him to do a found-footage technical movie in Tamil. Thus, Amanuda was foiled. A website named "Found Footage Critic," which verifies the Found Footage Technical Movies, has also become the reference for understanding the Basic Rules of Making a Found Footage Movie. Later, AMANUDA got distribution from its owner distribution company, POV Horror, and they released the movie worldwide and also through Amazon Prime PRIME VIDEO.AMANUDA ALSO GOT MANY AWARDS AT THE INTAGORE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, THE INDO–FRENCH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, AND THE FIRST MONTHLY FILM AWARDS IN SERBIA, ETC. Amanuda got many positive reviews from the audience and critics because of its unique style of making. SS Jishnu Dev got an outstanding achievement award for directing the first ever found footage genre movie in Tamil. This film gifted Jishnu the India Book of Records, the Asia Book of Records, the International Book of Records, Kalam's World Records, and the URF Awards.

His next was Upama, an art movie released in theatres in 2019. The movie is made according to Panchatantra. Film got more than 120 awards from national and international film festivals, including the Best Audience Choice Award from Bridge Fest, the Best Debut Director Award from Las Vegas Movie Awards, and the Best Feature Film Award from Scene Film Festival, USA. These resulted in his getting his second entry in the India Book of Records in 2020, which is titled "Maximum Category Award Received By A Malayalam Feature Film."

In 2021, he directed a political satire film, "Chila Sankethika Kaaranangalaal," which used continuous sync sound recording for up to 72 minutes. This resulted in making a mark on history as the longest film to perform a continuous sync sound recording, and it also got into the India Book of Records again. In 2022, he got the URB award again for making the first ever Malayalam movie, Myself Clement, talking about the Alien Hand Syndrome disease.
