Bidit Roy, is a self-taught documentary filmmaker and a graphic / motion designer based in Pune. Born in the sunshine state of
Rajasthan, he spent two years working as a software developer before entering the film industry professionally.
He produced and directed his first documentary ‘Madhur Bhav’ in 2015 while he was working full-time in an MNC. It encouraged him to explore the non-fiction genre even more. His next documentary ‘Bamboo Lawada’ got officially selected for a national and international level film festivals. His third documentary 'The Bicycle Maker' got selected in 3 international film festivals. In one of the festival - 'Filmed by Bike Int'l festival' his was the only entry from India. In total they selected over 80 best bike films across world.
He has developed a greater interest towards human centric non-fiction stories and loves to travel in its pursuit.
The subject of my previous documentary - Shailesh Krishna, met Ravi Kiran in Pune while he was on his pan India tour. Those few minutes of their meetup triggered a course of action and I coordinated and intercepted Ravi. A small tea break with him I realized that he is much more than just this ride.
I could connect with Ravi instantly because of my equal inclination towards community development. He had single handedly pulled off several other rides against all oppositions.
I made up my mind that post his 'Ride for Green India' I will visit him in Hyderabad and make a short film to help him spread his message to more citizens.
