In a small apartment, amidst the chaos of caring for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s, Varsha’s routine is disrupted by the discovery of her missed period, unravelling a profound paradox entwined with her lingering childhood memories.
Vishal Jejurkar
Born & brought up in a small village in the Nashik district, I belong to an Agricultural Family. I am a Doctor by academic qualification, I landed in the medical field due to some family circumstances.
Growing up I never had much exposure to the outer world but I always had an inclination towards the Arts, had a sense of awareness about my ideas and perspectives but never understood their nature & lacked the resources to explore
& express them.
Later when I landed in Pune City for my Medical Studies(BAMS) I took that opportunity to explore and pursue film-making. Along with the Medical studies, I started studying filmmaking on my own from whatever resources I could
gather. When I was in the 3rd year of my Medical Studies, I made my first Short Film “Scratch”, with help of my classmates as a crew and some local village kids as Actors. Loaned some money for a basic DSLR, learnt how to use it from YouTube & shot the film in my own village. Surprisingly it was screened at Boston Film Festival, Flickers Roving Eye Film Festival, among some others.
Later that year the Script of my second Short Film “The Last Letter” won 1st prize in India at IFP Short- Screenplay Writing Competition and went on to Screen at around 35 International Film Festivals. I am working on an Untitled feature film script since the last 4 years which I plan to start pitching soon.
