Award Winner
Banana Bus won the Best NC short film at the recently concluded All American Film Festival. This might sound silly but the award means a lot. Not sure if the next award will but I feel so encouraged about my work, energized to finish incomplete projects. I also feel much more positive about festivals in general, partially because of the award, largely because I had a great time at the festival.
Undoubtedly, it was a great festival for filmmakers as we got plenty of time to mingle with each other and the audience. But I also think the reason that I enjoyed this festival experience more than previous ones is because I actually spent time there. It felt like an event versus just a blip on my calendar.
P.S. The trailer for Hello. Sorry. Whatever. is available on Squigglebooth.

I feel the same way. I feel energized about my work and it makes me want to do more. It was my first festival and I was just excited to be there. To win the award for Best Comedy Short was the cherry on the sundae. It was cool to talk to other filmmakers such as yourself and feel that I’m not alone in my journey. That our passion for telling stories can be seen in the end product up there on the screen. I’m extremely glad that I took the chance and entered in the festival. I’m even more glad that I was able to be there amongst all the talented individuals in the room and feel like I belonged.
I’m looking forward to hearing about and seeing all your future projects, Ajit. Keep up the good work.
