After working on many short films and videos, Aneesh found himself given a production budget offer to turn one of short film pitches into a proper theatrical feature. This project would become the 2018 mystery thriller ''Film/{{Searching}}''. ''Searching'' proved to be a critical and financial success. He would be co-awarded Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at 2018's Sundance Film Festival, alongside co-writer and producer Sev Ohanian. |

While originally intended for a 2020 theatrical release, the film would instead be released directly to Hulu on November 20 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, ''Run'' proved to an impressive second outing, with the streaming site reporting it to be the most-watched original film in their history (for a short while anyway), in addition to glowing reviews. |
