Director Statement

The ideal theme of the story was about two persons,who suffer from some existential crisis and fight each others to get the priority. After the initial phase the of thoughts, i had condensed it into a 'One Minute Movie' by symbolising it with a droplets in this enviornment and tried to convey the idea about irregularity of Win and Loss in life. So the Theme is Universal.

The thought "Existence is only about participation not Monopoly" paved way for connecting the characters as Friends. It is regular in our school lifes that we softly compete with our friends for our benefits.

The technical inavailability in production stage caused some difficulties. The Monocromatic Noir style of footage is the way we overcame some of those difficulties caused due to the zero budget. Noir style of presentation also increased the way of approching the story by Audience. An exaggerated way of presenting characters brought the movie an abnormal Pshychological sturcture.
