According to Shyama Bhargava, “It’s a great pleasure for me as a debut Director that my Short Film is selected in the Short Film Corner as my film exceeded the length criteria for Short film competition. It is also being marketed in the Marche Du Films business corner.This selection is a big deal for me, since it is an area where accredited guests, filmmakers, producers and film buyers come to watch the selected films in the festival. Accidental meetings do happen, and I’ll brush shoulders with the film producers, distributors and look upon this as an experience of the whole of the festival, market, SFC, sponsored slots, etc.. For me Short is the plank to the feature films and future endeavor or indulgence in film making.”
