QUOTES AND TAKEAWAYS

“Film making is not only a form of art. It is the visual display of your own heart and soul.”
“I aspire to make commercial films which my audience love to watch again and again.”

DO YOU RECALL ANY INCIDENCES FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD WHICH INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO BECOME A FILMMAKER? HOW HAS BEEN YOUR JOURNEY SO FAR?

I always wanted to be on the stage during my school days. But apparently the stage never liked me. There were incidents where unconsciously I made blunders and given my audience a good laugh. Still I never fail to reach out to the stage. As a teenager, I never realized that the random stories that I imagine during the bed time will help me become a STORYTELLER. Though that time it was my biggest entertainment ever.

As I grew up, I found my unconditional love for writing and photography. For me, monsoon has always been my favourite season to capture great images. Somehow, I realized that through these pictures I can actually make a story and thanks to “windows movie maker” (The magic wand of that time), I started making videos with the help of pictures, text and of course background score.

This is how I have started making short videos which has helped me becoming a visual storyteller. The journey as a film maker, so far has been fascinating, I was really lucky to be a part of few national and international projects. This has helped me in becoming a better film director. Though I still have a long way to go.

What to expect while on the set?

Film making is an incredible dream job. A profession where you'll be paid for living in a dream world.

On the set, the relationship between director and actors are very sensitive and crucial. 
Many a times actors feels that the director doesn't know what they are doing. Yes! its the hard reality which we as a director should know. The only reason is that the director is giving "vague" instructions to the actors, therefore the tuning between the tuning between the director and actor turns into a GUESSING GAME.

The Reason:
RESULT ORIENTED DIRECTION- The bitter reality in today's time we incline towards "result oriented direction". This entails that we give instructions like "Can you be little quick" or "Please tone it down" or "Make it less angry"

These instructions are very vague while the director expects the actor will understand what "exactly" he expects. This is why the act looks artificial as the actor looses its control from the genuine feeling he should have in the scene. 

The Solution:
The Director should give instructions which are playable. Verbs, facts, images, events and physical tasks are more playable because they are choosable and repeatable. 
For example, in place of the direction to "be defensive" you can use any one of the following:
To complain, to belittle, or to warn. 

Or; if you want an actor to "Play it sexy (adjective)" you might ask him "to flirt" with her; or "to be more angry" you might suggest that she should "accuse" or "punish" him.

This shift in concentration allows and encourages the actors to LISTEN and to ENGAGE.

Have you ever heard something like "Smooth Mountain" No! Right..

To be honest, I have always been fascinated with this concept. I knew that setting up a film production firm all by my own wouldn't be an easy task. I knew that I will face many challenges but I was ready to get through all the odds.

My childhood was blessed with tremendous opportunities to explore my writing and photography skills. Imagining random stories has always been my favorite time pass. Now I realize that these things has actually helped me to become a visual storyteller.

Before starting my firm, I took all the opportunities to work as a writer, Assistant director, Production Manager and Film Director. This has helped me to know the work from inside-out.

I have started Kraction Films Production with the vision to make great films. I started this with zero working capital and therefore I couldn't hire anyone to help me design the website, company's logo or V-cards. So, I designed all this by my own. Finance has always been a major issue for start-ups. It actually slows down the entire process. 

I knew it will be an uphill battle but I found out a way out in a very early stage. As I had a pretty decent work profile so my clients has always been confident enough to handover many challenging assignments. Their advance payment has given me mobility to execute in the initial stage of video production.

Now I am really blessed to have such a great associations with some of the biggest brands Like HCL, SportzCraft, The Dollar Business, Nestle, Cisco, AIS, Khadi Gram Udyog, IPSC, Airtel, ESIC to name a few in the industry. Its like a dream come true. 

During my childhood I used to live in a dream and now I still do for a living.

Film making is not only a form of art. It is the visual display of your own heart and soul. Being a visual storyteller is not a “JOB”, it is a LIFE which is unique in itself. 

So, if you are passionate to dedicate your life into it.. Don’t listen to anyone.. just follow your heart.. rest will fall in its place.

Bollywood is no doubt the most fascinating and profitable industry in India. We have got various magnum opus to attract the audience in India and overseas. Having said that I wouldn't disagree that Hollywood has always set benchmarks in the Indian viewership.

What I mean here is that, Indian viewer will be more intrested in watching movies like Star wars than any other sifi movie made in Bollywood. Its the Indian mindset that is not ready to explore the possibilities that Bollywood too have the capability to make incredible films. 

Hollywood has always influenced Indian viewers by giving great films like star wars, fast and furious series, Avengers, The Jungle Book,Avatar, Spectre, Mission Impossible to name a few. These films have influenced viewers to such extend that they are not ready to watch such kind of Bollywood films. Though I wont say that Bollywood films are anyway less than Hollywood films. 

Bollywood movies have shifting genres that reflects various unstable subcultures of India. It is more sentimental and melodramatic. However Hollywood moview have clear genre and are more specific & sophisticated.

However, it would be unfair to mention that Bollywood is gradually taking over the space by making films which are appreciated worldwide. But we still need director like Satyajit Ray, who can give such movies that can be watched and preserved even by the Hollywood.
