‘The Bus Stop’, a short film produced and directed by Shimla lad Vivek Mohan, who is now based in Mumbai, has been acquired by Shorts TV.

The five-minute and 21-second film without a single dialogue is based on the true story of a 87-year-old widow living alone at Manjhgaon village, Shahpur, in Kangra district.

The film shows how an elderly woman used to place a piece of paper on her gate every evening and remove the same the next morning. The paper read – “I am an old widow, if I don’t pick up this chit, consider me dead”.

Vivek Mohan said, “The story of this woman touched me and it took me six months to finalise the crew, select a location and assess potential lighting or sound issues. The film was shot in three hours and edited in three hours.” — TNS
