Hi There is lots to share. But first the synopsis of the short fiction film I will soon be completing.
Its titled as " Eshti" currupted pronounciation of the short form " S.T" (state transport)
"At times I reach
'times I am on the way
'times i dont know which way'
Three individuals, of different age group - travel – and this journey revels their fears. A mother fears that her son might not come to receive her at the bus stand. A just married young girl fears her husband who has got down of the bus might not return and a small child wonders if the drunk man, known as his father, would take him back home.
What happens in those moments when the faith dwindles? What happens in those moments when uncertainties grip ones mind? What are those moments when relationships make us helpless? Why the relationships – of blood or of bond make us doubt?
It’s a trilogy.
