Cinema found Nabin Chauhan, not the other way around

The director of ‘Oonko Sweater’ stumbled into the movie industry after many failed businesses, and plenty of self-doubt.

Nabin Chauhan is a filmmaker, storyteller, and founder of Artmandu —a creative collective reshaping how Nepali stories are told on screen. Best known for directing ‘ Oonko Sweater ’, Chauhan is setting an example by telling emotionally rich, socially grounded, and relatable stories. But his filmmaking journey wasn’t planned—it unfolded through theatre, failed business ventures, and moments of honest self-reflection.
