Director Biography - Anshul Khatri, Palash Khatri

I am a 19-year-old kid who likes making experimental and artistic shorts. I have been making short sketches and content since I was a little kid with my family and friends. Later on, I decided to turn my passion into a possible film making career because I was very much inspired by my favorite director 'Wes Anderson'. I wanna make films that are different than everyone else's. Doesn't matter if the movies turn out bad or good as long as I am satisfied with it and am able to portray my vision on the screen. Right now my goal is to be the youngest director to win at the Cannes film festival. This is just the beginning.

Director Statement

Initially, I wanted to make a film depicting the lives of a simple family but then I thought , what more I can do to make this more interesting and I came up with this. Usually and for this one too I didn't have script. Every time I get an idea I just pick up my camera and start filming without any preparations. So as soon as me and my brother had an idea I wanted to execute it . At the time I was watching a lot of polish cinema ( mostly in black and white) and that's another reason why I wanted to make a film in black and white , I don't know why but everything looks rich and diverse when shot in black and white. Fun fact : All the things that the characters do in the first half of the movie are the daily routine of my family.
