Early Life and History
Born on 12th

in Petabina. With no prior attachment to films, his family was
unaware of his in-born qualities of a film maker that required keen

take up film making as a career. He got himself enrolled in various
film institutions. He worked hard as a student and passed all his
exams with flying colours. In fact, the film schools honed his skills
as an artist and sharpened his creative bend of mind.
Film and Inspiration

answer-LIFE. He defines how film-making is inspired from the daily
struggles of a human being and how he drew inspiration from his own
struggles. Needless to say, his films display hardships with
positivity. Be it romance, thriller or tragedy, there is a message
that audience takes home.
Humberd believes that a film should entertain the
mass, but should never ignore the lessons that life has to throw at
mankind. He says he drew a lot of inspiration from the place where he
resided during his childhood. In an honest confession, he agrees that
most of his films are based on Portland for the sole reason that he
prefers working with a familiar setting. In fact, this has earned him
a name- Humberd Portland.
