“Biroho” is a dance-film by Sumedha Bhattacharyya, developed and executed at AuroApaar’s Manifest Dance-Film Incubator 2022. I was part of the crew in the capacity of ‘Production Manager’ during my internship at AuroApaar, fresh off organizing the Manifest Film Festival, the first ever dance-film festival in India.
The shoot schedule was also rather intense, with a lot of scenes scheduled for the first day and the second day wrapping much after the scheduled wrap time, but my crew pulled through and helped me bring my story from script to screen. That said, it was a really fun experience with a lot of takeaways for me as an aspiring filmmaker.
