A young professional, Teja, works twenty-four-seven under tremendous stress as an engineer. There is no work-life
balance in his routine. Due to the demands of the job, everyone in his company, including him, consume
anti-stress medication regularly. One day, Teja loses his laptop. He doesn’t remember where he lost it.
Nobody in his office has a back-up of the important documents either, and Teja is in trouble. 
The film is exciting because it’s not a serious drag commentary upon the pressures of a corporate job.
The camaraderie between Teja and his friend, who helps him look for his laptop, offers some comic relief.
But what drives the film is the gullibility of the actor playing Teja. His portrayal of hopelessness is so
endearing, one’s rooting for him even in his silliness.

Anukoledu | Short Film Nominee

The short narrative makes no use of dialogue, and takes us into the life of its protagonist simply by way of visuals. The aspiration of the plot is to portray the futility and emptiness of a life that is lived simply in pursuit of one professional goal after another. However, even if these goals are achieved, they leave you with little space to catch a breather for yourself amidst the intensity and exhaustion. The project, though marked by a few raw edges, remains honest and direct with the expression of the same thought.

A Factotum’s Monotony | Short Film Nominee

The film wants to talk about the disintegration of its protagonist's mental health who finally reaches his breaking point due to immense professional pressure. It tries to portray the same by taking us into the life of a man who battles dissociative identity disorder and is not aware of it. As he begins to snap under work-related stress, a deeply disturbing and unexpected revelation awaits him. Additionally, this realisation is coupled with a heavily-worded email that he has sent to his colleague. These progression of events are then meant to communicate to the viewer the perils of letting work consume your life.
