Director Biography - nithya gopalakrishnan

I am Nithya, 37 years of age, an engineering graduate who is currently a partner and Executive Director of a family run logistics business in Chennai. I am married and have a 9 year old daughter. Always had a huge passion for movies since my college days and grew up watching a lot of world cinema. So finally decided to pursue my passion and took the deep dive to make a short film on my own. I have given it my all for this film as filmmaking is what I want to do all my life.

Director Statement

This is my pilot film. I have taken the sample reference of two sects of people who enjoy different privileges to showcase the social imbalance in our society. I wanted to give a raw narration so that it would leave a lasting impact on the audience.
As a director & producer, I have ensured to keep the film true to its purpose without compromising on the quality in terms of camera, art, stunts and other technical departments to match the international standards.
