Film


Since I can't upload all my films here, Click below to see Filmography...




The first time I heard this song, I could only imagine Madhuri dancing to it,
And I was like; why not convert this into a video using found footage.
And here I am with the first promo; I will be completing the song over the summer…





Onion Soup - Video Installation
The concept behind the installation is to enter a thought space with a visual description of my thoughts displayed through a dual projection placed at different angles on the wall. 
The projections are further layered with 4 mosquito nets which multiply the projections representing the layers of our thoughts which are constantly on different tangents in our mind.
The idea behind the installation is – No matter where we are and who we are talking to – Our physical being has no relevance to our mental being – We can be somewhere else mentally and the physical existence wont hold any importance. I have tried to create this blank space between our physical and mental being

I'm Home
I'm Home was made under Purple Burps Productions with my crazy friend - Sibya Rosalyn 
The film revolves around on how each abandoned building is a bag full of memories from each family that has lived there and made it into a home.  










 

 'Pause' is a dual film that was made under the sci-fi course held in Srishti. It is also my first attempt at Science Fiction.
Scenario:
The world today survives on a social construct due to which the human brain has been accustomed to respond, inspire or follow the path shown to it by its surroundings – its society. The realm of society can be brought down to families. The concept of families has been depleting since the past few years – It started by Joint families followed by the concept of Nuclear families and people today are okay with the fact of not being married or remaining single; this belief has led the concept of society starting from the concept of family to abolish in the next coming years.
Due to the abolishment of society – social construct has failed - The human brain has stopped responding to emotions and is not being influenced its surroundings as in this world today – It just wishes to work for survival – the very basics – food, water, sleep. It is not aspiring to go beyond; as there is nothing to aspire it. It has chosen not to reproduce or carry on their evolution forward – As it is not influenced by humans anymore.
The present human social construct in this world has paused.
The brain has accustomed itself to follow and not to lead.
