Director's Note

The film was born during one of the lowest ebbs of my life; a period when rejection and uncertainty seemed to be the only constants. The driving force behind it was the need to unravel the intricate dance between art and the artist. It's a story that touches upon the pursuit of creative dreams, even when the world appears indifferent, and when adversity strikes unexpectedly.

The film, a heartfelt homage to the many artists navigating the arduous path of rejection and self-discovery, reflects my own experiences. It's a tale that goes deep into the eternal tussle between an artist's fervor and the apathy of the world.
