Pre-Production
The journey starts
We started in the first week of April before the monsoon hit Mumbai. Being a newcomer, the idea was to find the location within budget. Permission denials from various schools and colleges landed me at the place where I did my tuition classes. Getting clearance from its principal, relieved me.
I travelled to crowded lanes in search of props. Priyesh Mehta and Yash Jalandria had been great support that made everything possible. Realizing a low budget, I hired two professional actors Jeet Mathruia & Hetal Sanghavi, and the rest were acted by my friends and teachers. Getting everything in place, it was time to roll.
Production
Time to Rock the screen!
When you have good company around, the trip becomes hurdle-free. This was possible as I had my awesome colleagues and my friends who accompanied me throughout the shooting. The pressure to make my first short film faded away just because of the enjoyment we had during the process. Everything went as planned and we worked 12 hours.
Our day at shoot started at 6 in the morning. My actors got ready with makeup for the scene. Finally, we started shooting at 9 AM and things went elegantly and pleasurable. Last but not least, were my Assistant Directors (AD) namely Priyesh Mehta (1st AD), Devanshi Doshi (2nd AD), Puran Sanghavi (3rd AD) and Yash Jalandria (4th Ad) who helped in making my dream come true. Hence, big things often have small beginnings.
Post-Production
Time to Rock the screen!
Finally, I had to use my fingers to create magic. Since the budget was low, I made use of royalty-free music and sound effects. The film was edited on Final Cut Pro X. This film not only voiced my thoughts but also helped me grow. As an editor, it alleviated my learning and made my dream possible. It was completed in a week and it was ready to set fire.
It was screened before my friends, cast, crew, and earned applause throughout. The reaction was so overwhelming, this kicked my morale way up. I realized when you focus and put your endeavors, victory is deemed to happen. Mission finally accomplished!
Film Festivals
Appreciation unlocks bliss!
Getting my film distributed at Six Sigma Films and receiving 25k Views in 2 weeks added excitement to my zeal. Nothing in this world is possible, without a dedicated focus, relentless effort, and a good supportive environment. Without these three factors, the film couldn’t have been possible, hence “All’s Well That Ends Well!”
