25 days of ideation and pre production, condensing the screenplay and shot break downs, 13 days of shoot and equivalent nights for the edit, @smaransahu and I are excited to share the poster of the short film we’ve been tirelessly working upon. Trailer out in a couple of days ? Thank you @rohanbhatiaart for bringing our thought to life in a single frame. Loved every bit of the process of working together on this.
