MIRZAAT

My name is Rahul Dey Sarkar. I am Director of Candid Media. First of all, a Director Biography and resume are not the same thing. This is an item that is often overlooked or omitted by Writers and Directors. Perhaps some people feel that if they don't have enough filmmaking experience to write about, that it isn't important. Sometimes, filmmakers and screenwriters don't want to boast about themselves and let their work do the talking. While this is noble, I feel like it's also a mistake to leave this field blank when you submit to Film Festivals. Reading about every university, theater group, film, and television show that a person was involved in, can be overkill, for a Director’s Bio. Why do film festivals care about your biography? Because it gives a potential viewer an idea of who is involved in the film festival. A common question I get, especially from people that are not in the film industry is, “who made these movies?” For potential attendees, who are curious about what a film festival event is all about, this entire concept is new to them. A short 250 word or less bio, allows the viewer to understand where the filmmaker is from and what stage of career stage the filmmaker is in. As well as, the next possible steps in this filmmaker’s career.
