KUMMARI NAGARAJ

These pictures are captured at the theatre play called Reth, performed by students of the Department of Theatre Arts. The play was performed at the GB Hall of the University of Hyderabad. The play gave me a chance to play with my camera exposure triangle and I captured around 500 pictures at the play. The play was coupled with the dynamic lighting and movements of the performers, which was a good opportunity for any photographer to play with their camera. Among 500 of my clicks, I shortlisted around 100 to post them here.

At present, Indian commercial films are budgeted for over Rs 300 crores, while independent documentary filmmakers are struggling to get funds as producers take little interest in this genre.

Discrediting the Kashmir Files or discrediting the plight of Kashmiri Pandits?

The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, has become an Internet sensation not just because of its whopping collections but also for its content. Left-liberals claim TKF to be exploitative, a propaganda tool and Islamophobic, while right-wing people claim it to be India's Schindler's List and an eye-opener.

SHORT FILM & AV CONTENT

NARAYANAPET

I have made my directional debut with Narayanapet. Making Narayanapet was a challenging task for me because I have cast people who are inexperienced in acting. Working on this short film has taught me to manage film production because we made this short film with zero budget. I have learnt ADR to do the dubbing for the short film. I am also planning to do the colour correction for this short film.

INTERVIEW WITH KUNAL SHAH

We had a fun-filled discussion with Kunal Shah, a Mumbai based Filmmaker and producer. The discussion was on Indian documentaries and their struggle for funding. He currently holds a Creative head position at G-Rank. He also worked as a professor at AURO University, Surat.

Kunal Shah shared his 15-year knowledge and experience in film production. His vast knowledge of OTT, OOH and OTT has provided us with an overview of the film production from pre-production to post-production.

His experience with Documentary Filmmaking and his involvement with the big production companies gave us valuable information on documentary production.

He also discussed how studio systems work in North India and South India and also how the Trinity system of production works.

Apart from his expertise and knowledge, we have experienced his humility in receiving us and answering us with enthusiasm and great patience for nearly 2 hours.

Thanks to my classmates- Varun Borugadda, Sai Krishna Reddy, Victor and Ramesh Naik have accompanied me on this great experience
