The short film by Drishyam Films takes us into a single day in the life of a farmer in Karnataka. The film is set in 2016, soon after the legalisation of guns for farmers in the state to protect their crops from wild boars. The narrative critiques the decision and the ramifications that ensued. There are no dialogues in the film between the protagonists, the story is weaved together by skilled cinematography and editing instead, making the viewer forget completely about the absence of words. It further draws attention to the fact that while decisions might be reached by those in power, debated by those who cannot change them, those who are truly affected by them have little to say in this regard. The protagonist of the film listens to the news of legalisation of weapons on his radio with casual indifference. The day's tasks are taken care of with the same nonchalance that must have been employed on every other day before then. The decision will affect him in far serious ways than he realises and yet do little to change the reality of the world he inhibits.

Bete (Hunt) | Short Film of the Day

The movie, marked by its single member cast and crew, is a dedicated and sincere attempt to tell its story. A man wakes up from a disturbing nightmare which he chooses to turn around into a writing project. While engaging with his endeavours, there is indeed a darker, more unexpected reality to be discovered by him. Would he be prepared when it finally arrives?

My Dream Story | Lockdown Film Challenge

The film aims to pack drama, action, violence and betrayal to tell its story. A group of gangsters, who have been murdering people after securing money from them using deceit and trickery, find a victim of theirs getting out of their clutches. And thus begins the struggle to entrap and kill him. As the story progresses, more characters are roped in, loyalties are questioned and stakes get higher and higher. After two failed attempts on their target's life, an unexpected development awaits them in this game of bullets, the word being used as a pun to mean both the motorcycle as well as in the context of guns. When all the cards have been laid on the table, who will finally play the winning hand?

Bullet | Short Film Nominee

A smuggler and a gangster desire to possess the coveted Redstone. They strike a deal, but it falls
apart because one of them cheats. The film showcases that action and drama. A new character is introduced at the
end to leave the audience asking for more. It should be noted that the film is entirely shot and edited on an iPhone, allowing some room for its missed aims as it puts forth its intentions before the viewer. The presence of the new character hints at subsequent parts to the story, which would perhaps be turned into a series by the team.
