Long way to go. This is just the beginning .I haven’t achieved anything as of yet . # Can we expect your presence in any feature film.. If the road leads me there to a good worthy role , you might see me some day .. |
Yes, there are a lot of people making short films. Some might misuse the artist and their talent which might create a bad reputation for the actor herself. That is why I always stick to known circle .
# Is it that you ignored acting offers for some shorts.. Are there any criteria for it ..
Depends on the type of script people bring in . like I mentioned earlier , these days every second person has a digital camera and want to make a short film.
There might be a chance of misusing the artist. Hence I choose short film scripts which are created by people who are known to me or atleast if the director has a good reputation and a script whichs has a good concept to it .
Depends on the script and the shooting dates that the director requires.
Act and direct good short films which will do some good to the society.
# If you can be blunt, what is your view about "crap" short films?
