About Me

I'm Siddharth Bhalla — an adventure filmmaker and self-taught video editor from Lucknow. For 3+ years I've been behind the wheel and behind the edit bay, documenting raw cinematic road trips across India's most stunning terrains. My channel SiD On Wheels is episodic storytelling — every video goes through a full post-production pipeline: footage culling, multi-track editing, colour grading, sound design, and export. I've done this 566 times, independently, on deadline.
