Hope: The Blessing Beyond the Curse

Adopting an experimental approach, the short film invokes a conversation around a very integral aspect of human emotions - hope. As suggested by the title, the entirety of the narrative becomes an exploration of the many dynamics of the same, suggesting perhaps both its positive and less constructive sides, especially in a world that is only beginning to come out of a pandemic.

The story further borrows from the Greek myth of Pandora's box to engage with its thematic concerns. The final result is marked by intelligent and smooth camerawork. Additionally, there is the desire to rope in metaphors and symbolism to enhance its treatment of the subject, leaving the audience, above all, with a visually engaging final result.
