Priya Belliappa is a filmmaker, visual artist and entrepreneur from Kodagu. Her work spans film, photography and illustration — created under her production company Pictures Unfold and expressed across multiple creative platforms. She began her career in advertising at Ogilvy and Mather before moving into independent filmmaking, drawn by the visual medium and the freedom it offers.
Raised in the landscapes of Coorg, her eye for the natural world is rooted in the same forests and estates that inform her broader creative work. Her contributions to Wild Estates of India bring a filmmaker's sensibility to the field record — an attention to light, composition and the quiet moment that distinguishes observation from documentation.
