5. WHY A DRAMA INSPIRED US?
Anandjiwade productions chose to do a drama for our short
film as we believed that this could emotionally connect with
our audience. We believe that the topic of suicide and
family, could be relatable to the audience. Our chosen
actors are extremely talented, from this, they will be able to
show the emotion and pain the character Is feeling. As the
director, I will be able to portraty the characters rightly to
the audience, in order for them to connect with the
characters. Drama’s are risky to pull off, however
Anandjiwade productions believe that we will be able to
use the convetions is order to create a dramatic short tilm.
