From juggling myriad roles in filmmaking to anchoring the Pame Film Festival, Karki's path has been diverse. His evolution from a director to an editor and colourist was fueled by a growing fascination for visual intricacies that amplify a film’s narrative and impact.

Despite a NEFTA award for best colourist, Karki remains humble, acknowledging the talented contenders in his category. His contributions often defy the mainstream penchant for glossy aesthetics, with 'Hari' standing as a testament to his artistry.
