The company, headed by producer Sweta Chhabria and producer-director Aditya Kripalani, makes issue-based films focusing on stories that are mostly to do with gender and burning topics like suicide prevention and mental health. The outfit makes it a point to minimize the male gaze by bringing on board heads of department who are all women.
Also showing at EFM on Feb. 18 is “Not Today” that follows a 24-year-old Muslim woman who works secretly as a suicide prevention counsellor. The film won a brace of awards at the Bengaluru Film Festival and has had an extensive festival run. Also in the works is “Impulse,” where a frustrated but puritanical actor in Mumbai meets an older, depressed, recently retired banker in Frankfurt over an online film audition and spends the rest of the day teaching him acting via video calls. As they both walk around Mumbai and Frankfurt, the acting class forces them both to be emotionally naked and vulnerable and confront things about themselves that they’ve both swept under the rug for years.
