Hi everyone! I'm an independent filmmaker from Kerala, India.
I recently released WREATH, a 51-minute Malayalam film made with a production budget of ₹3.5 lakh. We shot it in six days with a passionate community of filmmakers called Storywrestlers.
We took a documentary-style approach to the storytelling. With limited time and resources, we had to respond to situations as they unfolded rather than make every shot perfectly controlled.
The production was challenging, and the audience response has given me plenty to think about as a filmmaker. I'm still learning from the experience and working towards making better films.
You can watch WREATH here:

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I realise this community focuses on short films, so I understand if the 51-minute runtime doesn't fit the subreddit rules.
