Anup Sapkota

Director

Anup Sapkota has built his filmmaking career across directing, producing and editing, working between commercial production, documentaries, music videos and narrative cinema. Based in Kathmandu, he has spent more than twelve years taking projects from the first idea through planning, production and post-production. That breadth has made him a hands-on filmmaker whose contribution is often spread across several stages of the same project. His documented commercial work includes campaigns connected with Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite, Red Bull, Unilever, Tuborg and other regional and international brands. The Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup 2018 Promotion (Nepal) reflects the range of his practice: he is credited as producer, director and editor, combining creative direction with the practical demands of finishing the film. His professional portfolio also records documentary and branded-content work, including projects made for audiences beyond Nepal. Sapkota's connection with Nepali narrative filmmaking is visible in Kollywood (2013), where he contributed to both the screenplay and production design. That combination points to an interest in story as well as the world built around it. More recently, he was credited as executive producer on the 2026 Coca-Cola campaign Momo FOMO visits Kathmandu's most talked-about Momo spots, produced through Top Of The World Films and Open Doors Entertainment. His career continues to develop through production partnerships and projects that place Nepali filmmaking in conversation with wider commercial and independent networks.
