Q&A
I am working on a couple of short films and lifestyle videos which will be available online September onward.
Earlier this year, I conceptualized and directed videos for the music project 'Chaitunes', a series of music singles where musicians of various genres collaborate and create great music. Every song in the ChaiTunes series has a visual narrative and all the stories happen over cups of tea. Akaxok Subo Khuju is one of the videos. I do also take great delight in travelling and making travel videos. One such travel video is Dehradun in 24 hours.
Back in 2013, a music video that I had conceptualized and directed won the following awards. The project is Aawaz - speak up against sexual violence
- Best Music Video - 2nd Mumbai Shorts International Film Festival, 2013.
- Best Music Video - Hollywood Shorts Reel, 2014.
- Best Music Award & Best Music Video - Noida International Film Festival, 2014.
- Bronze Medal - Global Music Awards, 2014.
The song aimed to sensitize people about various social evils like sexual violence, child abuse and marital rape. The core idea behind the song was to encourage people to speak up and not hush up such matters.
