Shrunal Tembhurne is an India-born, Los Angeles-based writer-director focused on psychological and supernatural genre storytelling. His work explores the intersection of buried emotion, trauma, and unseen forces, with an emphasis on grounded performances and atmospheric tension.

Before focusing on filmmaking full time, Tembhurne led a digital creative agency, developing experience in narrative development, audience psychology, and team leadership. He develops a slate of elevated genre projects centered on character, mood, and psychological tension designed to resonate long after the credits roll.
