Directed and edited a short music piece for the homegrown saree brand @jadonindia.official - where every saree is crafted with incredible attention to stitching and detail, under the loving gaze of the birth mother @kshiprasinghjadon@manishusapkar was my dream of a cinematographer and @sridharkak was an all-round champion, assisting both Manish and me.
@swapniljollie graced every frame with her dreamlike aura, helping us bring our vision to life
The transcendental piece of music by @paisrahul@thejamroomaudio helped elevate the mood of the visuals and make it even more immersive.
@porcupig helped the colours come home to the film and the film come home to the heart
the queerframes screenwriting lab by @thequeermuslimproject felt like going home to a place i had never been, but had always belonged to.
queer spaces such as this must be cultivated with intention and pride, and these 8 days of warmth, tenderness, community and co-creation in goa did just that - leaving me awash with inspiration and joy one rarely manages to come by in adult life.

A landscape lined with beasts with terrifying faces yet surprisingly gentle demeanours, jostling against each other with a kind of swarm intelligence, stretching as far as the eye can see, all bathed in the rust glow of the setting sun.
Some moments fracture the line between before and after, and you are never quite the same again.
Witnessing the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara, Kenya is absolutely one such.
