A film director thinking..

 AI art arrived as what seemed like a boom in conceptualization and creation of new material. Turns out, it is a regeneration of what has already been made. Whenever you make AI art, it will almost never feel real (somewhere deep, you are aware that it is made out of what has already been made).  "Nakal ke liye bhi akal chahiye hoti hai, AI ne akal ki sabse badi dukaan kholi hai."  Tried my hands on it, it actually helped me conceptualize a lot of concepts that I had. It might even help me to pitch some of those concepts on my trip to Mumbai sometime soon. Just want to create something original. It requires robotic writing, as if you're explaining a child what to look for. A child that is growing. Making movies is going to be different in the future. I am just trying to prepare myself with the technological advancements that might hit us in the next couple of years. I have a feeling they will be very sudden. Market shift has been great. People are going back to cinemas. S...

When you tell yourself that, there is peace in it. I want to make a film. I will make a film. I have started working on making a film. The storyboard for what can be a feature film in the future has kickstarted. The work is slow because everyone involved has other things to do but the train has left the station. And it will reach its destination. Should I make a documentary first? Should I try my hands on a low budget film first? Yes, why not. I have access to a 4K digital camera now. Feeling good about starting work on a feature film that is very close to my heart. I guess this is how it is now? Working on multiple things at the same time, hoping the dots will connect somewhere in the future. Also having interesting conversations about money and breaking stereotypes about how it should not be considered the only thing you should work for. At the same time, not leaving out its importance in the matter. For the first time and at the age of 25, I will have people who will directly report...

In my many attempts to make a film that can impress the masses, I can say collectively I have failed. Yes I know downsizing my own capabilities is not something I should do. Something interesting happened a few months ago. I was left with a choice. The path was divided into two. MUMBAI Choice number 1: Go to Mumbai and start my journey as an Assistant Director and slowly move up. DELHI Choice number 2: Join the Ministry of Culture as a consultant for NCSM and work at IGNCA.  I was in touch with an influential personality. His love for everything Indian can spark joy anywhere. The level of energy he brings into the room is unparalleled. I was talking to him about a lot of opportunities and we really passed the vibe check, I suppose. He is a man of extreme will, keeps a visionary approach and wants to see a better and stronger India. He does not care about receiving credit as long as work keeps being done. And the work NEEDS TO BE GOOD. Quality over quantity but also quantity with qu...
