Description – Thrayam is an investigative thriller short film that was completely filmed in 2019.
My role – Director
Experience – Thrayam is the biggest project I have laid hands on. The idea and the script was developed from a single line,because of this a lot of the filmmaking was an on-the-set improvisation. Thrayam was shot on Red Raven and also had a well functioning professional unit. This was my first major work handling a professional lighting and sound crew. There was a lot of emotional and technical work that was required during the filming process be it dealing with the crew and actors. As the director I had a huge responsibility of maintaining the crew as well directing the actors to give their best on screen performance. Although unfortunately due to internal conflicts and lack of funding, Thrayam had to be shelved but it will be one of the projects that I will always cherish as a novice director and this loss has only driven and motivated me to do many more films. Not only did it motivate me but it also taught me how to deal with conflicts and a lot more about cast and crew management.
