Get to know the filmmaker:
I’ve always wanted to create a show that has no actors or dialogue, to strip it down to the simplest and barest of art form. It was just a wild idea ‘cos I wouldn’t have dreamt of producing this show as it would be very tough to sell tickets to my local audience. Covid lockdowns were the perfect opportunity for me to launch this show. Since the pandemic have created such breakthroughs in people internally, be it negative or positive, it really pushed audiences to open their hearts and minds, and in turn, they also started to seek something different.
At the same time, my father had also passed away, and I knew it was meant to be that I share also, my deepest and spiritual expression to those who are meant to watch the film.
