MU LAKHI PRESENTS


Writer. Director. Editor.




I'm Mu. A writer, director, editor and producer based in Leicester, UK.
Here are some highlights from the last few years.
And we just getting started.  Yeahhh mannnn.

Do you have a sick idea for a film, music video or promotional video,
but don't know where to start?

Are you obsessed with mixed media?

Find yourself staying up, thinking about
technology, mortality and cinema in the twenty first century?

Then let's make something together.
Just Remember: Be Nice To Ghosts


FEATURED FILMS



In a near-future America ruled by a fascist theocracy, a desperate radio signal calling for help is sent backwards through time. In a drab present-day Britain, a politically detached loner receives the message by chance - but he finds himself powerless to prevent the coming catastrophe.

👻

Last year,
strange recordings appeared on my phone:
cryptic ramblings from a gruff Californian.
In attempting to figure out how they got there,
I stumbled upon LA Ham Radio.

The anger of Evangelical Talk Radio
reflected the moment;
the ground Reform UK gained in the July 4th Elections here in England, and the
death obsessed Trump Campaign in the States.
I started working on a film about a radio
broadcasting a warning from the future.

I picked it back up earlier this year, after Trump's inauguration. This film became Blue Light Entity;
a psychological horror that serves as a nightmare depiction of doomscrolling.





In the midst of the Atomic Age,
an infertile couple’s life becomes an inescapable nightmare after they participate
in an experimental clinical trial
that leads to the birth of a mushroom baby.

🍄

Taking cues from EVERYTHING
from Universal’s Classic Horror Pictures
and William Castle’s B-Movies
to the 80s Pastiche of Joe Dante
and Gruesome 90s Body Horror
of Carpenter and Cronenberg,
Shroom Baby is a unique send up to the horror genre.

Satirical and absurd with a grand sense of scale
and a beating heart - a couple stuck in a horrific situation that they cannot control.
The film contains elements of political satire,
lampooning the panic of the nuclear age as well as bringing light to the way that the conflict shaped our current world.

All playing out in a story
about parenting
and the unexpected horrors of
parenthood and childhood




EDITING


You want your viewers to feel something, right? Then I might be your guy.
I’m an editor who thinkgs outside of the box to create bold, cinematic content with a distinct visual identity.
I want to help brands and artists create work that’s impactful, memorable and authentic.
I have ten years of editing experience, and five years on Da Vinci Resolve.



PHOTOGRAPHY


Event Photography, Production Photography and Stills.
I work across an eclectic mix of cameras, formats and mediums, 
focusing on the relationships between people and their environments.

My main driver is a Fuji XS10 DSLR. I shoot in RAW and edit on Lightroom.
For vibes, I use one of my digicams: a Lumix, a Fuji Finepix or a beat up old Nikon.
On special occasions, I shoot on 35mm with a Pentax Zoom 105R.
