I love making films on social causes... SAMPARC (Social Action for Man Power Creation) affords shelter and schooling to destitute children and children of commercial sex workers. Samarc’s Balgram, is an orphanage with over 700 children across various centres. It aims at educating and providing a sustainable future for underprivileged children. The founder Mr. Amit Banerjee believes that our country can progress only when each and every child of our country is educated. I make these films because people with goals about social welfare find it tough to get support since their work isn’t commercial, and investors won’t exactly be getting an ROI. It’s tough to go on by oneself. If my skills can be of any use to such people with a noble cause reach their goal, it’s the best achievement. There are people who want to help, but are sceptical or unaware of institutions doing genuine work, my films can help create credibility and connect them. We, as a human race crave connection. I ...
