Director Biography - Sumanindya Shankar Das

I was entranced in the line of filmmaking via the methods of story-telling and story-making, in my early years before joining Techno India University.
After joining I have slowly grown in the ways of filmmaking and directed two such films ‘Sonarchai’ (Lockstar Film Festival Winner) and ‘The Loop’ (Seoul Guro Kids Film Festival Semifinalist) and have learnt more and will profess to learn more about filmmaking as I am a novice.
After earning my BFA in Digital Filmmaking and VFX from Techno India University, I entered Graphic Designing and Video Editor in position IEMLABS for my Professional Workspace Experience.

Director Statement

For me, direction is a tool to express the full length of the narrative.

To experience my story more and express my thoughts to the audience.

To the mass ... It's what I think.. is the best way to connect the mass of the world.
