(August 27, 2023)<\/strong> “A film so guerilla that it was written, directed, shot, and edited by me, in my house, with no crew, and my mom as the only actor,” Siddharth Salgaonkar said, about his short-film, Monster. The one-minute short was among the 23 selected from around the world to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was a big break for the young Indian filmmaker and put Belagavi, a town in Karnataka, on the world map. “Monster was made using available materials and meagre resources, featured my mother Seema as an actress and my father Hemant as a crew member,” the young Indian filmmaker told The Hindu. “As a child, I wanted to be either a chef or a filmmaker. I think I have made my choice now after a lot of thought,” he smiled.<\/p>\n
