Director Statement

the film came into our mind when me and my co-writer were shifting one of my friends house..as the distance between the two houses were very less, no movers and packers were ready to shift it..so we decided to go to nearby area and search for a Tempo..Tempo is a small Indian truck, specifically used for shifting small homes and daily goods..so while walking through these parked Tempos, we were talking about not getting any Tempo driver to be ready to shift the house..and suddenly so many of Tempo drivers/owners circled us, as in to hire them for the job..one of them said, that there are more Tempos in supply then the demand and thus we saw a desperation amongst them, to be hired..The thought of this short came out right there, that what if a someone like us, looking for a Tempo gets a desperate Tempo driver/owner...the initial idea was to show the pain and desperation of such people..but then we thought the other way around...that sometimes desperation can leads to some comedy and thrill..and thus the script of this short happened..I would not like to say much here as otherwise it will ruin the viewing experience..
