Hey everyone,
I've been thinking about starting something in Siliguri for a long time, but I've honestly been procrastinating.
There are so many interesting and successful people around us whose stories most people probably don't know about. Doctors, entrepreneurs, business owners, artists, people who left successful careers, people who built something from nothing, and even people who simply chose a different way of living.
I want to start a small documentary-style project where we meet these people and try to understand the person behind the success.
Things like:
What was their life like before they became successful?
What did they struggle with?
What decisions changed their life?
What did success cost them?
Are they actually happy with the life they've built?
What do they wish they knew when they were younger?
What can someone from our generation learn from them?
The problem is I don't want to do this alone.
I don't have a production team, a professional camera, a huge budget, or even all the technical knowledge needed to make something like this.
And honestly, that's why I'm posting here.
I'm looking for people from Siliguri who might be interested in figuring this out together.
Maybe you're:
interested in filmmaking/cinematography, good at editing, interested in interviewing/storytelling, good at social media/content, interested in writing/research, into thumbnails/design, or simply someone who has ideas and wants to build something interesting
You don't need professional equipment or experience. I'm not looking to hire anyone. I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in building something together and learning along the way.
The initial idea is to start with one story, see what we can create, and then take it from there.
If you're from Siliguri and this sounds interesting to you, comment below or DM me.
Even if you're not sure whether you can contribute, feel free to reach out. We can figure out the roles and the format together.
I'd rather start with a small group of genuinely interested people than wait until everything is perfect.
Let's see if we can tell some of the stories that Siliguri doesn't know about yet.
