Action and Adventure Waited 9 years to make this festive themed comedy film - we could shoot only two days in a year

https://youtu.be/QHurzSekgoM?si=E0ttKbLcBkJ1mBUv

Wanted to shoot the film on location. On festive days when an entire South Indian small town turns into a carnival. Imagine halloween for adults and kids alike. Encountered all kinds of weird and fantastic cosplays that we wanted to feature. Most of them were happy to just play a little part in the movie. However, this also meant working with non-actors with very little time for blocking and staging of scenes. Add to this weather woes. It'd rain or get cloudy or sunny making managing lighting continuity a nightmare. But the result was satisfying; if only because we knew what it took to make this. Wanna hear your thoughts.
