My Side (2017) | My 1st film
Excuse my first film.
My Side (2017), a student short made for K.C. College’s BMM festival, Blitz 2017. Winner :)
The film, it’s the journey of an emotional breakout to a practical epiphany.
Back in my third and final year of college is the first time I ever thought and executed in 24 frames per sec. It felt like an exaggerated first hand simulation to how the rest of my life will look like, as the famous reel saying goes, I didn’t want to work 9-5 so now I work 24/7. The entire journey of this film also helped us figure what feels illegal but isn’t, ‘making a student film in bollyland, with, “ajj to pakka jail!” being a persistent vibe on set and that’s also what made it thrilling, an ‘on the edge’ experience. On top of that having no experience whatsoever in any of the processes boiled everything down to, ‘how badly you want it?’ EXTREMELY :)
Needless to say the first set of people who were by your side marching towards executing a collective vision, figuring every process on the go are to cherish forever.
