SHAMIANA..

I'm proud to announce that my short film will be showcased this Saturday in Andheri West, INDIA!! *Drum roll* its the moment ive been waiting for, the moment where creative minds come together to this meaningful event to present their skills in storytelling.. to much dissapointment since im unable to make myself present at the event so i do hope to get a good write-up. Below is the email i received from the founder of SHAMIANA, and the listing of participants including their entries. Please note that there's a small mistake in my entry, it was supposed to be Malaysia as for country im representing and where it was shot. Scroll down for more details.
