Hello, I'm Megha from Havanje, Udupi. I am a graduate from RV college of Architecture. I have done experimental short films with the limited resources I had but this is my first short film with a proper crew involved.
I am currently working as a Graphic designer in Bangalore. I have worked with a few Kannada theatre groups( Kalavilasi, Samashti) and have done illustrations for Kannada magazines ( Sudha, Ruthumana, Parijatha). I have assisted 2 Kannada feature films in the past.
Enso is based on true events. Few incidents in the recent past really moved me and I felt cinema is the way I could address them.
The story is primarily about loss. It is also about the permanent void that is created post trauma with numerous mental health problems. Other layers that I tried exploring were the role of a family and society; the contrast between the youth and old their ways of coping with it; village and city as spaces and how they impact the healing process.
