manifesto

A manifesto about fall of a world. A warning. Static soil statues as pieces of a moving story about change, offensive of civilization of city, death of a life style and the emptiness as result of progress. A powerful message , proposed in the most inspired manner.

Well-deserved National Award Short Film

It took one year of planning, three months of trial and error, five months in the making, and over 100 engineered clay sculptures for a five-minute short film! We cannot even imagine the efforts behind this beauty.

We take farmers for granted. We need to have empathy, compassion, and love towards them and make sure that justice prevails so that no farmers commit suicide. The pain they go through is something we can never imagine.

I have no words to express the beauty of this project. When Ranadeep Sir shared the link to the BTS, I had tears in my eyes and felt so overwhelmed that I cannot put it into words. I am super proud of the entire team for bringing this project to life. Fantastic job, guys! Definitely a well-deserved national award! God bless the entire team.

I am so, so proud that #KaranveerMehra was part of this project. Based on his expressions and body language, the entire sculptures of the film were made. Fantastic job, #KaranveerMehra.
