Left alone screaming hold me, hold me These voices whisper secrets I ignore Crawling to whatever’s little left of you, just be Just be what you were A mere night is a nightmare now As I lie in darkness now What is night? Vast serenity, mystery of infinite space? For me, it is the horror…

“The Apollo program was a fraudulent NASA spaceflight endeavour which allegedly landed the first men on the moon.” said the head of the Flat Earth Society who sat next to me on the frisbee pendulum ride. It was an unusual choice of an interview setting but he wanted to prove a point. While the others…

I arrived at the gate of my new prison (read: college) and scoured the area for familiar faces (read: friendly faces). All I saw was an accumulation unto my conservative outlook of the world. People smoking, hurling abuses, holding hands and what not. It was the opposite of what I was taught to be. The…

She writes an epic to me venting her ordeals Against me I stay shut, unaware of my own blankness She says words, words that surround me Like a legion I explode into a flurry of shakes aware of my own madness She wants me to be naked In front of a mirror I hide my…

One thing I’ve learned directing my second short film is that management of the crew, actors and the DOP is essential for creating life on screen as desired by you.

Everything depends on the preparation…. or does it? I am in the process of making a short film and have completed the principal photography and I will soon start the post-production of the same. I wanted to talk about the problems I faced during the shoot and how control is just an illusion in film-making.…
