MEET THE TEAM


ARJUN CHATTERJI - CEO

Since leaving Edinburgh University with an MA in Chinese, Arjun joined the internationally renowned advertising agency, St. Luke's. Having learnt how to quickly 'think on his feet', he was inspired to adopt a strategy of personal creative risk-taking, bringing him to the realisation that ultimately, he wanted to head up his own business independently. He trained at New York Film Academy receiving a diploma in Advanced Filmmaking and later, worked as Creative Assistant to Ashvin Kumar on his feature 'The Forest'.

He received a NFTS/NESTA Incubation grant in 2008 following a pitch to bring quality film education to a global audience, online. And the rest, as they say, is history. His passion and determination to pursue his business vision is focussed on ensuring that Imaginox connects with both the finest talent and the most innovative events, plus delivers the latest technology to create a truly revolutionary platform.

ADAM CLEMENTS - VIDEO EDITOR, WEBMASTER AND TECHNICAL GURU
 

Adam started in filmmaking as a runner (meeting Imaginox CEO Arjun on his first ever short film job!) and then, after completing his training at the Brighton Film School, quickly progressed into post-production as an editor and animator. Continuing to work on projects as diverse as music videos, cinema commercials, web ads and a feature film, enabled Adam to sharpen his skills further, making him a quick and agile editor. He now works at Imaginox where he is the indispensible 'go-to guy' for all things technical, and he has 3 nicknames depending on what mood he's in!
