“The art of filmmaking is the most influential form of art that has ever existed throughout the history of human artistic endeavors.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Film Testament

“One thing I’ve learned: people love a camera, and when I’m filming, they see it, not me, so whenever I need to, I can quietly disappear behind my trusty shield.”
Samira Ahmed, Love, Hate & Other Filters
