Director Statement

“THE LEAK was created during the Covid-19 lockdown. As a filmmaker, I aim to be playful, non-conformist, and minimalist. This minimalist approach means I limit resource usage and try to deviate from the standard narratives and structures. For example, I shoot my films on my smartphone and limit shoots to three takes. THE LEAK had full creative agency from Co-Writer and Executive Producer, Samita Nandy.”
