When Siva Kumar, Syam Tekkem and R. Nagabhushan Rao met a few months back, they had no idea that their favourite pastime — discussing cinema — would suddenly lead to a decision to make a short film together.
Over the next few months, the rookie filmmakers, along with like-minded friends, completed their short film titled ‘I am Money”, which made its way to the first list of nominated films in the ‘Short Film Competition’ category for the 15 th Jaipur International Film Festival (JIFF)- 2023, scheduled to be held in Jaipur from January 6 to 10.
“It took some time for the news to sink in,” says Mr. Siva Kumar, writer and director of the 13-minute long short film that tries to portray the myriad hues of money and how, as the adage goes, money makes the world go round.
