Anatomy of a Documentry ... The Grit


 

 

March last week to 1st week of April was busy, we shot a documentary on Shankha,



 The white bangle that married Bengali women wear as a symbol of marriage, (you need to watch the film)


I was questioned by someone about how much it cost to make the film, and on hearing the number the person was interested in producing a documentary and made an open ended offer.( not aware what it takes to make an documentary film, the research and the process)

 

This particular film has been in the mind of the director since 2018 and has come to fruition now in 2024. (We are in edit)   we have been shooting parts of the film over the last so many years as reference and some footage might make it into the film too,

 

We ended up shooting the film in 2 country and have a fashion angel now too.

 

 



 

 

 along with tradition’s.   

 


 


Its GRIT

The Grit of the director

The Grit to stay with the idea

The Grit to hear no from others and still be at it

The Grit to hang in there and work silently

The Grit to see it to completion.

 

The director Sarbari Chowdhury of Broto alpona fame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8LW4YzSy0  had Grit to make it happen.

 

Filmmaking is such a game, needs Grit to make a film, the most necessary ingredient for sucess

 

Thank you for having me be a part of the film.

 


 

For the uniniated these conch shells, which we blow on auspicious occasions, are cut to make the shankha.

 

 


 

 

 watch the film to know more...

Male is unmistakable, with his orange breast, belly, and tail and ultramarine-blue head and back. Handsome eh!

Childhood days ,

To tempt fate,

To just be a goofball

To do the incongruous

childhood


 

The joy of childhood, to be  naughty just cause it is so much fun, to do dangerous acts, unknowingly is what childhood is all about

The red wiskered Bulbul


 

Red whiskered bulbul, at sunrise, the tranquil quiet moment at dawn, taking stock of things that need to be done.
