Hi everyone! 👋 I’m beyond excited and truly humbled to share that my short film — THEERAM — will be screening at the International Film Festival of South Asia (IFFSA) Toronto! 🌊✨ 📅 Date & Time: October 14, 6:30 PM 📍 Venue: Cineplex Cinemas Courtney Park, 110 Courtneypark Dr E, Mississauga Theeram was born out of a simple, emotional idea — to explore love, distance, and the unspoken connections that tie us together. It’s a deeply personal story that came to life with the efforts of a small but passionate team. ❤️ This screening means so much to us — it’s not just about a film, but about dreams taking shape. 🌟 If you’re in and around the GTA, I’d love for you to come, watch, and share this moment with us. Your presence, your support, your applause — it means the world to a dreamer like me. 🙏 🎟️ Let’s fill the theatre with love and support for indie cinema! See you at Theeram 💙 #Theeram #IFFSAToronto #IFFSA2025 #ShortFilm #DirectorLife #MalayalamCinema #CanadianCinema #DreamBig #SupportIndieFilms #TheeramAtIFFSA #FilmFestivalJourney #Storytelling #Hugumma
