Choice

A common child born into this education system has two options. Either Engineering or Medicine.

Choice of choices deal with such a protagonist. Anvesh Dunna created the comic book from real life experience of Arunabh kumar(TVF Qtiyappa – fame)

The story was designed around for a comic book after a lot of back and four discussion. The visual style was explored by him and a narrative style was decided upon by both of us.

While working on the screenplay and the storyboard only one thing was in my head to communicate. A graphic novel includes all the basic rule of visual communication and is as powerful as cinema. So every panel had to be semantic as well as communicate the story further.

It was also suggested to break time, jumping between the protagonist life and a days work.

Anvesh’s water color added more flavour and ‘Choice of choices’ was on paper. All credits to Anvesh and thanks for letting me contribute actively in the graphic novel.

Good choice of Choices.

People

(stories from Mumbai)

Mid-stream March Masala

People end up asking you what the philosophy behind a concept is. Some question the logic behind each scene. Some end up judging, comparing, demeaning and may even call it bogus and hollow.

Every dish needs a particular culinary, a particular crate and a particular time to be served. In spite of serving it at the right time one may be serving it to the wrong people. (Sometimes even the wrong cook )

‘Stories from Mumbai’ is one such dish that is currently being made. Its intended to be a mid-stream masala short film made as a part of my IDC project.

After severe wrestling with money issues, theshort indie film is 90% complete.

Radhakrishna Bar before it was demolished

I would like to thank Jithin Stalin for stepping into the shoes of the producer and funding half the film. The movie is on the edit table.

We got permission to shoot inside Radhakrishna Bar oppiste IIT, however two days later the bar was demolished by BMTC road widening. It will be a part of me now.
