Consent is important, but very often people fail to understand when and where the line must be drawn. Gray - Amazon miniTV’s latest short film attempts at addressing this dilemma. The thought-provoking drama is based on the life of a young woman, Naina, who goes through a tumultuous time after an uncomfortable experience changes her life. The plot is centered around the struggle one faces whilst differentiating between consent and friendship, and more often than not, it ends in one blaming themselves.
“We at Amazon miniTV always try to bring impactful stories that would entertain and enlighten the audiences. We know about consent and talk about it but how well we understand or implement, is the real question. We are proud to bring this meaningful story to our library of the award-winning short film” said, Girish Prabhu, Head of Amazon Advertising.
“At Yuvaa Originals, we believe in telling stories that reflect the emotional truths of young Indians, in a way that makes them feel seen and heard. Gray, a story by Puneet Ruparel and Sakshi Gurnani, and directed by Sakshi, is a powerful story about consent, a topic that should be 'black' and 'white' but is often dragged into the 'gray', because we refuse to learn the meaning of 'No'. We hope that the film helps clearly define the meaning of consent for everyone who watches it. We are so proud to collaborate with Amazon MiniTV because its wide reach will take this story to every corner of the country.,” said Nikhil Taneja, Co-Founder, and CEO, Yuvaa Originals.
