Director's Statement

There is a quote in Macbeth..."Most foul, as in the best it is, But this most foul, strange and unnatural". This movie, my first venture, is a justification to the quote.
A socially responsible theme, initially put forward by Vipin Simon, was penned down by Krishnasekhar. It was the current relevance of the theme which instigated me to do this film.
The movie was entirely shot with digital cam's with a low budget around Rs.6000. With a time span of 15 min, film revolves around John, an engineering student who misses the bus after college and his journey with 2 strangers.
The shoot and post production works completed in the month of January 2011. We were lucky to work with Raj Marthandam who is a pioneer in film industry. The film approaches an event in three perspectives (Three Angles), through the eyes of viewers, John and the stranger. Camera work portraying the scenic beauty of countryside and rapid editing are the highlights.
The film was selected as the best film at Crossroads XI and Cult Away XI - the intercollegiate festivals of MarBaselios & SCT college of Engineering respectively.
