How Parish Mandhan Productions Came to Life

Parish Mandhan’s creative journey began early. At just 13 years old, he picked up a camera, not just to take pictures, but to capture moments that told a story. Growing up, he was fascinated by how a single frame could speak volumes. But as he matured in both skill and perspective, Parish came to a realization:

“Photos capture a moment. But film? Film captures emotion.”

This insight became a turning point. While photography remained at the core of his artistic identity, it was the power of motion and narrative that truly called to him.

The Cannes Lion Moment: When Passion Met Purpose

While filming for clients at the Cannes Lions Festival in France, Parish had a revelation. Despite the prestige of the brands attending, many were struggling to find creative teams that could bring their ideas to life in a cinematic, meaningful way.

From brand activations to short-form digital storytelling, the execution often fell flat—not for lack of budget, but for lack of vision and collaboration.

And that’s when it clicked.

Parish thought:

“Why not build the kind of production company I’ve always wanted to work with—one that understands story, respects creativity, and delivers with heart?”

The Birth of Parish Mandhan Productions

On July 19, at just 26 years old, Parish launched Parish Mandhan Productions, a full-service production company based in New York City. Rooted in storytelling, fueled by cinematic visuals, and backed by years of hands-on experience across editorial, commercial, and luxury events, this company is designed to bridge the gap between creative vision and execution.

Whether it's a fashion campaign, branded short film, behind-the-scenes documentary, or high-profile red carpet event, Parish and his team approach every project with one question:

“What story are we really telling here?”
