Director Statement

" My film A POOR SMUGGLER is a very unique short film and it is a proof that nothing is impossible in filmmaking when you have the passion, courage and talent to make something great. Lack of resources and lack of opportunities is nothing but just an excuse. Despite of being made with a mere budget of 250 USD and with no professional equipments in almost 9 long months the film won 8+ international awards / nominations / selections , got national media coverage, made several state level records and now soon it will make Guinness World Records. People will say it's a miracle but i will say it's a result of great hard work, perseverance, sacrifice and most important team work. "
