Agartala, May 1 – At just 25, Bipul Debbarma, better known in creative circles as Bipz Chang, is carving a name for himself in the world of cinematography. Hailing from the northeastern state of Tripura, this young visual storyteller has already built a reputation for his unique blend of technical precision and artistic expression.
A graduate in Economics from Savitribai Phule Pune University, Bipul’s journey into the world of filmmaking might seem unconventional. However, his deep-seated passion for storytelling through visuals led him to follow his heart and enroll at Whistling Woods International, one of India’s most prestigious film institutes. There, he honed his skills under the mentorship of industry veterans, refining his command over the craft of cinematography.
Bipul’s work stands out for its immersive quality—each frame he captures tells a story, revealing not just the subject but also the emotion behind it. Colleagues and mentors alike praise his ability to blend technical mastery with a strong visual narrative, traits that are quickly earning him attention in the independent film scene.
Beyond the lens, Bipul is an enthusiastic traveler. He often credits his journeys across India and beyond as a major source of inspiration. “Every place has a story, every culture a color palette,” he says. “Travel allows me to see the world differently, and that reflects in my work.”
With aspirations to explore global cinema and bring stories from underrepresented regions like the Northeast to a broader audience, Bipul remains grounded yet ambitious. He dreams not just of international collaborations, but also of mentoring young artists from his home state, encouraging them to embrace the creative arts.
In an industry often dominated by big names and metro city influences, Bipul Debbarma’s rise signals a refreshing change. His journey from Tripura to the cinematic world stage is not just a personal success story—it’s an inspiration for many young dreamers who believe in the power of passion, perseverance, and vision.
As he continues to evolve as an artist, the world can expect to see much more from Bipz Chang—a cinematographer with stories to tell and a lens that sees beyond the ordinary.
