Making independent films is a lonely job: Sudhir Mishra
Mumbai
March 1, 2017
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, a jury member for an upcoming movie
awards, says he finds the younger talent inspiring as the Mumbai movie industry
can be lonely for a person dabbling in independent films.
Mishra is on
the jury of News18.com's REEL Movie Awards with Farah Khan, Sujoy Ghosh, Sudhir
Mishra and Nikkhil Advani. The awards, which will celebrate and honour the
artistes who have enthralled the audiences with their outstanding creativity
through excellent storytelling, will be held here on March 20.
"I wanted
to be a part of this jury because the younger lot inspires me, I feel less
lonely, otherwise the idea of making independent films is a lonely job if you
look at the Mumbai film industry," Mishra said in a statement.
"I've been
around 30 years, trying to do what I want and it's great that now the other are
also joining in as well. Age is a superfluous factor in a director's life and
there's always so much to learn and get inspired from all the time," added the
filmmaker, who is awaiting the release of "Daas Dev".
The REEL Movie
Awards will also have a curated panel discussion on future of content
consumption and new age cinema, which will witness participation of dignitaries
from popular OTT platforms. There will also be a performance by celebrated
stand-up comedians.
