Charlotte Bruss Christenssen (Cinematographer - Fences, A Quiet Place, The Banker)
Sabin is a beautiful character and a whole lot more. A gentle, kind-hearted personality by nature but a cunning villain on the screen I prefer. He would be suitable for any negative assignment you choose.

Andrew MacDonald (Producer - Black Narcissuss, The Last King of Scotland, Ex Machina)
I am glad to have known Sabin since the shoot of Black Narcissus in Nepal in 2019. He was our logistics manager in Nepal and our Consultant during shoot in Pinewood Studios in the UK. We casted him for the movie and he did amazingly well.

Tim Whitby (Producer - Our Girl, Gap Year, The Young Offenders, Grantchester)
We cast Sabin in four episodes of Our Girl and were delighted with his performance. He is a subtle and accomplished actor in both English and Nepalese. Very happy to recommend him.

A multi-dimensional work performance which required different skill sets, everyone including me from production appreciated Sabin’s professionalism at various times during our shoot of Black Narcissus in Nepal and the UK.

I’ve professionally known Sabin since 2010 and have worked together on many films shot in Nepal, South Africa and the United Kingdom. He’s a fine actor and a perfect team player.
