Director Biography - SREERAG POIKAYIL

Hello and welcome! My name is Sreerag, and I'm a writer and creator with a passion for storytelling.

Director Statement

As a director, my aim in creating a movie that explores the imaginations and thoughts of a boy who lives in a tribal village is to provide an intimate and authentic portrayal of life in such a community.My goal is to create a movie that speaks to universal themes of childhood, imagination, and the search for identity, while also providing a unique and culturally specific perspective on the human experience.

This movie is created without any support of a preallocated budget or prewritten script . Instead , it is the outcome of a more predominant search that is filmed by guiding actors through specific situations to find detailed manifestation of story inherent . The methodology devised here is more prone to an experimental one , rather than usual and repeated .

Thank you for considering my short films for your platform, and I look forward to sharing my stories with you.
