I co-created three psychological short films, each 10 to 20 minutes long, for PFF, the Psychological Film Festival: I scripted, shot, acted in and edited them, and designed their intros and outros.
For the festival itself I sat on the review panel, the department's censor board of sorts, scanning every team's film before it was screened, and helped my teammates with the behind-the-scenes technicalities: lighting, sound and the screen.
I won the Best Actor award for my role as Pia in Main Kaafi Hoon.
At the same festival, I acted in a nukkad natak, a street play raising awareness about queer relationships and sexual abuse.
“Psychology isn’t just about reading books and taking tests. You grab a camera, gather your friends and start filming stories that show how people think and feel.”
