Telling stories

Siddharth P Malhotra

It’s been a strange mix of emotions. Isolation has given me the time to reflect and introspect but at the same time it is an overwhelming feeling given the alarm bells ringing everywhere. I am using the time to write, write and write some more. It’s been a blessing to sit down with almost no sound around and concentrate on the art of storytelling.

Reflect & rejuvenate

Anand Pandit

This self-curfew has given me the time I needed to read scripts that we have been receiving at Anand Pandit Motion Pictures. I have also been watching a lot of shows that were recommended by my friends and amazed at the quality of storytelling. Honestly, it’s been a time to reflect, rejuvenate and read.

Looking back & forward

Anurag Kashyap

Right now, I am reading books based on Mumbai. This is a great time to read and watch web series. It’s a good time to binge on books or do a retrospective on filmmaking. It is the best time to recover and see those films that unfolded at their own pace.

Virtual connection

Ravi Bhagchandka

I’ve been connecting with my team virtually to discuss a number of scripts, which are in the developing stage. It has also given me the time to develop Brewster’s Millions further. The script is shaping extremely well and this isolation is helping us curate the process very effectively.

Final touches

Siddharth Anand Kumar

The team at Yoodlee has got a lot of time to read and discuss scripts at length. We all are working from home and connecting through various apps to deliberate on various projects. It’s really given us the luxury of time without bothering about the deadline pressure. Also, all our projects that are ready for release, we are ensuring that our marketing strategy is in place and ready to launch the moment things start limping back to normal.
