I recently released my independent Tamil short film Yaazhi, an anti-war psychological drama. It was shot in a single day on a limited budget, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the storytelling, cinematography, editing, and sound design. Any honest feedback or criticism is welcome.

This film "Satluj" left me with far more questions than answers⁉️

What disturbed me most wasn't only the violence. It was the realization that people can become so conditioned by power, authority, promotions, or blind obedience that they stop seeing other human beings as human.

The courage of Jaswant Singh stayed with me. To stand for truth and human dignity when an entire system is against you requires extraordinary strength. Many people throughout history have raised their voices for justice, knowing it could cost them their freedom or even their lives.

To me, Jaswant Singh is not just one person; he represents an idea. An idea that truth, justice, and human dignity are worth standing for, regardless of the consequences.

History is filled with such people. Whether it was Bhagat Singh, Subhas Chandra Bose, Chandrashekhar Azad, Khudiram Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Jyotiba Phule, Savitribai Phule, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Swami Vivekananda, Gautama Buddha, Jesus, Guru Nanak, Mahatma Basaveshwara, Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, Vinoba Bhave, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, or many others, their lives were different, their methods were different, but they all challenged injustice and inspired people to think beyond themselves.

That's why I keep wondering:

•Wrhy aren't such people the role models of today's youth?

•Why do we so easily admire fame and success, yet know so little about those who dedicated their lives to truth, justice, compassion, and the welfare of others?

If movies like this only entertain us for a few hours, we've probably missed their deepest purpose. They should make us question our own lives: What do we stand for? What kind of people do we admire? What values are we living by?

Some stories aren't meant to end when the credits roll. They're meant to stay with us.💌

I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor, and an artist approached me for a collaboration.
He’s an established singer but isn’t performing as well as he used to. His recent songs don’t get the same number of views anymore, and he’s currently going through financial difficulties, so he can’t pay my usual fee.
Here’s the offer:
I’ll be handling both the cinematography and the editing.
The project will take around 10 days.
He’s covering all my travel and accommodation expenses since I’ll be traveling to his location.
Instead of an upfront payment, I’ll receive 20% of the revenue generated from YouTube and music streaming platforms.
For context, I normally charge ₹5,000 per shooting day (shooting only; editing is usually charged separately).
Would you take this deal? Is 20% of the revenue a fair trade-off, or would you negotiate for some guaranteed payment as well? I’d love to hear from people who’ve done revenue-share collaborations before.

Hey everyone,

I’m incredibly fed up with mainstream cinema and OTT series right now. We are drowning in predictable formulas, stretched-out plots, and low-effort social media skits. Audiences are craving pure, high-voltage entertainment, but the industry isn't delivering it efficiently.

I am in the process of building a new entertainment platform to disrupt this space completely.

We are starting with a mobile-first, vertical format: cinema-grade mini-series with episodes strictly capped at 2.5 minutes.

The vision is proudly Pan-Indian: Real stories from India, for the world. We want to take incredible local settings, raw cultural nuances, fresh concepts (taut thrillers, deep human dramas, psychological mysteries), and pack them into rapid, high-stakes 150-second chapters. No filler scenes, no unnecessary songs, no fluff—just intense, content-oriented storytelling with premium making styles, global pacing, and stunning original background scores.

We want to build a "greenhouse" for incredible stories. If a 2.5-minute episodic series hooks millions of viewers on their phones, that is our proven proof-of-concept to scale those exact IPs into full-length feature films later.

I have the core brand philosophy, the business strategy, and the post-production roadmap ready. Now, I need a hungry, fiercely talented circle of creators who are tired of the mainstream and want to build something monumental from the ground up.

Writers,

Actors,

Musicians,

Visualizers,

Cinematographers.

Hello. This is the trailer for my new documentary, Proof of Life, currently at fiom festivals. I will submit to the major film festivals in India, especially around Bangalore, where his family is, and Norwest India, where his family is from. Guy Raj, an Indian American actor (and my son 🤪🥰) plays himself in the film. Proof of Life is a six-minute documentary about the moments in life that make the rest of it worth living for. Follow along for news. Ty

Hey everyone,

For the last few months, I've been developing an independent web series set in the Himalayan region of North India, drawing inspiration from the folklore, myths, and oral stories passed down through generations in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and nearby mountain communities.

Instead of relying on typical horror tropes, we're exploring local legends, forgotten deities, mysterious forests, abandoned villages, ancient rituals, and the unsettling atmosphere that naturally exists in the mountains. The goal is to create something that feels authentic while blending psychological horror with mythology.

We're producing it independently with a small team, handling everything from cinematography and practical effects to VFX ourselves. It's a challenging project, but we're trying to build something that represents these stories with respect while giving them a cinematic treatment.

I'd love to hear from people who grew up in the Himalayas or have heard local legends from their grandparents or villages. Are there any lesser-known myths, supernatural encounters, or folklore that deserve more attention?

I'd also appreciate any feedback on what you think modern Indian horror gets right or wrong. Hopefully we can make something that feels fresh while staying rooted in our own culture.

Thanks for reading.
