About the Project
Masked is a short film created as part of an academic course on Filmmaking at IDC, IIT Bombay. The project required developing a compelling logline, crafting a story and script, handling pre-production, shooting, and editing to bring the concept to life.
The film explores the struggles of a college student grappling with personal failures, the weight of a friend's success, and the ensuing internal and external conflicts.
As someone new to filmmaking, the project was both challenging and rewarding. To make the experience truly immersive, I took on the entire filmmaking process independently—covering pre-production, production, and post-production—while collaborating with my batchmate Aswin S, who contributed as the lead actor. This hands-on journey not only pushed my creative limits but also deepened my understanding of storytelling and filmmaking.
