Gerard “Nagu” Nagulendran is a Singaporean graduate from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Film, Sound & Video diploma course and is currently enrolled in Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media for his Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Media Art. He specialises in writing, directing, and producing his own short films to push the boundaries of storytelling.

His focus, when crafting narratives in his works, lies within the way we interact, lie to, and love one another. He emphasises the unique culture of his hometown Singapore at the forefront of his works, believing that we each have stories that no one else can tell. Currently, he is interested in themes of personal growth and change, as well as how people communicate what is important to them with one another.

Nagu’s polytechnic thesis short film “Kebelakang Pusing” premiered worldwide at the 14th Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival 2019 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. His most recent directed short film “Jupiter from Kembangan” was nominated for Best Short Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Sound Design, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography at the Singapore Youth Film Festival (SYFF) 2024.
